Bronze Review: WSOP Main Event Winner Mortensen is in; Mozdzen Bows Out

Former WSOP ME Champion Carlos Mortensen
Former WSOP ME Champion Carlos Mortensen

Yesterday, all of the poker world was buzzing over the news that Antonio Esfandiari had taken home the biggest prize in sports history when he won the Big One for One Drop earning himself $18,346,673. That victory propelled him to the top of the all-time money list with $23,245,828 in live tournament earnings. Lying in sixteenth place on that list is a former World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event winner Carlos Mortensen with $10,811,436 in live tournament earnings. Mortensen is currently making a living over at Table Fifty and we have just seen him win a small pot to take his current catch to 2,100.

So Mortensen is in and Clayton Mozdzen is out. We believe he was crippled in a three way pot searching for a flush draw that never came. Raymond Matthaei hitting the board with his {A-} {K-} to cripple Mozdzen who was out a few hands later.
