The Classic Race: A-K vs. 10-10

Big Slick versus pocket tens. Which would you rather have? That's the hand that might have determined the outcome of the WPT Championship. Carlos Mortensen had the overcards while Kirk Morrison had the pair in a classic coin flip situation.

Everyone in the room expected Morrison's hand to hold up, but tonight might be Mortensen's night to shine. The room exploded with noise as the Mortensenheads screamed and cheered on their hero when the {A-Hearts} fell on the turn.

Kirk Morrison bit his upper lip and ran his hands through his hair. He knew that was his last chance. He let the chiplead slip away once again and this time, Mortensen won't miss this opportunity to make history.

Hand #154: Carlos Mortensen Doubles Through Kirk Morrison

Carlos Mortensen on Day 5
Carlos Mortensen on Day 5
Hand #154 - Carlos Mortensen has the button, he moves all in for about 12.8 million, and Morrison immediately calls with {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Mortensen shows {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, and they are in a race situation. Mortensen needs to improve to survive.

The flop comes {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and Mortensen needs an ace, a king, or a four to stay alive.

The turn card is -- the {A-Hearts}! Mortensen takes the lead with a pair of aces, and now Morrison needs a ten to win or a four to chop the pot.

The river card is the {Q-Clubs}, and Carlos Mortensen doubles up in chips.
