Can Mortensen Make History?

Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen is on the cusp of poker history. Not only does he have his sights on $4M, he's also trying to become the first player to ever win the WSOP Main Event and a WPT World Championship. Mortensen is one of the best players from Europe and a victory tonight would solidify his place as one of the greatest tournament players in poker history.

"Carlos is one of the top 3 heads-up players in the world. Behind myself of course," mentioned Gavin Smith. "He's got the edge. There's nobody in the world that I'd rather play less than Carlos Mortensen heads-up."

"I've played with both players and they are great. This final will be fantastic," mentioned Daniel Negreanu.

This is a significant moment in poker and it's extra special that Mortensen could mount one of the greatest comebacks ever at a WPT final table at the taping of the 100th episode.
