Chips for Carlos

Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen
2001 WSOP Main Event Champion Carlos Mortensen raised to 550 from middle position, and the player on the button made the call. The flop came {J-Spades}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, and Mortensen continued by again betting 550. His opponent called. The turn was the {A-Clubs}. This time Mortensen checked, his opponent bet 2,000, Mortensen check-raised to 4,000, and the button called.

The river was the {5-Spades}. Mortensen fired out 5,000, and his opponent let it go. Mortensen is off to a good start, chipping up to 39,000 here in the early going.
