Mortensen Picked Off
We walked over to 2001 WSOP Main Event Champion Carlos Mortensen's table to find a board of 



strewn in front of two players. One of those players was Mortensen, who had a bet of 3,900 laid out in front of him.
His opponent sat pondering a call for over a minute before finally moving in a good majority of his stack. When the call was made, Mortensen immediately flung his cards away to the muck. His opponent tabled 
for a flopped pair of sixes and was able to scoop up a pot that brought Mortensen's stack down under the 5,000 mark.
