Hand #138: Carlos Mortensen Makes WPT History With His 3rd Title

Mortensen raises to 730,000, and Mustafa calls all in with [6d6h]. Mortensen shows [Kc10d], and it’s a race situation.

The flop comes [Jc10c3c], and Mortensen flops a pair of tens with a club flush draw. The turn card is the [Js], and Mustafa needs a six on the river (for a full house), to stay alive.

The river card is — the [5c].

Carlos Mortensen wins the pot — and the his third WPT title — with a king-high club flush.

Mike Mustafa finishes as the runner-up, earning $223,623 for second place.

Carlos Mortensen wins the WPT Hollywood Poker Open, earning $393,820, a WPT bracelet, and that includes his entry into the $25,500 WPT World Championship next month at Bellagio in Las Vegas.
