|
The final table is set at the World Poker Tour Hollywood Poker Open, and Carlos Mortensen (pictured right) is the chip leader with 1,127,000. Mortensen is in the hunt for his third WPT title at his fifth final table on the tour. He won his first title at the Festa al Lago in 2004, and he became the only player to win both the World Series of Poker main event title and the WPT Championship during his career when he captured the marquee WPT title in 2007.
The other big-name professional that is joining Mortensen at this final table is Chris Bell, who is in fifth chip-position with 372,000. He will be looking for his first _WPT_title at his fourth final table on the tour. Here is a look at what these two are up against when cards get into the air at the final table at 4 p.m. EDT on March 24.
