2001 WSOP | 2001 WSOP Winner Carlos Mortensen |
| It was a 9 on the river that decided the WSOP 2001, just like in 2000. Dewey Tomko looked down at pocket aces and moved all-in on a flop of Jd-10c-3c. Mortensen had Kc-Qc and thus a great draw: A flush-draw together with an open-ended straight draw. He called and made the straight on the river. The victory gave him $1,500,000. |
