Carlos Mortensen won the 2001 Wolrd Series of Poker Main Event taking home $1.5 million.
In the final hand, the preflop gave Dewey Tomko the best possible hand as he sat with A♠ A♥. Mortensen had Q♣ K♣, and raised to $100.000, while Tomko called. The flop came with J♦ T♣ 3♣, which gave Mortensen nut straight-draw and a king-high flush draw. Tomko still had his Ace pair and nothing more. Carlos Mortensen decided to bet $100.000, but Tomko confidently raised to $400.000. Then Mortensen tried to bluff and moved all-in.
The turn came with 3♦ and, unfortunately for Tomko, the river brought 9♦ to the table, giving Mortensen the nut-straight and the title of 2001 WSOP Champion with $1.500.000 prize money.
