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.
