Timeline
Juan Carlos Mortensen (born 13 April 1972, in Ambato, Ecuador) is an Ecuadorian professional poker player of Danish descent and the first South American Main Event winner of the World Series of Poker.
Mortensen is known for his loose play, bluffing tactics, and interesting chip-stacking style.
Mortensen defeated a then-record field of 613 players, including a very tough final table that included professional players Mike Matusow (sixth), 1989 WSOP Main Event champion Phil Hellmuth (fifth), Phil Gordon (fourth), and Dewey Tomko (second).
In the final hand, Mortensen's out-drew and defeated Tomko's, when Mortensen's hand improved to make a straight.
Mortensen moved from Spain to the United States in the late 1990s to play poker.
He won $1,500,000 at the 2001 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.
Mortensen won his second career bracelet at the 2003 World Series of Poker in the $5,000 Limit Hold'em event, earning $251,680.
He defeated professional player Mark Gregorich heads-up to win the title.
In 2004, he won the World Poker Tour (WPT) Doyle Brunson North American Poker Championship for $1,000,000.
Mortensen won the Season Five World Poker Tour championship event for a $3,970,415 first place prize, his largest tournament cash to date, and his second career WPT title, making him the first player in professional poker history to ever win the World Championship events at both the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour.
At the 2006 World Series of Poker, Carlos made three final tables.
He finished in ninth place in Event #2 (No Limit Hold'em) winning $71,617.
He once again finished in ninth place in Event #6 (NL Hold 'em), earning him $73,344.
Mortensen came up just short of winning his third bracelet in Event #33 (Razz), where he finished runner-up to fellow professional James Richburg, earning him $94,908.
In 2006, he and his wife, fellow poker player Cecilia Reyes Mortensen, divorced.
Mortensen had a good run at the 2007 European Poker Tour Main Event in Monte Carlo finishing 11th.
In 2010, Mortensen won the Season Eight WPT Hollywood Poker Open.
Mortensen has made the prize money in the World Heads-Up Poker Championship, and was a semi-finalist in the second season of the Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament.
Mortensen finished in 10th place in the 2013 WSOP Main Event, being the "Final Table Bubble Boy."
Mortensen was considered to be the last big-name poker professional to win the Main Event at the World Series of Poker, until Koray Aldemir in 2021.
As a result of the poker boom, which ignited itself two years after his win, when Chris Moneymaker won the Main Event, the fields in that tournament have increased exponentially, making it extraordinarily more difficult for individual players to maintain consistent success in it.
As of August 2017, his total live tournament winnings exceed $12,100,000.
His 21 cashes as the WSOP account for over $3,200,000 of those winnings.
