	WSOP Profile On Carlos Mortensen At Gambling-Win.com
		A natural master of psychological warfare, Carlos was born in Ecuador in 1972 and rumor has it that he was bluffing his classmates by the time he reached elementary school.
		Mortensen began his rampage at the tables in the late 1990s when he moved to America after having spent the majority of life in Spain.
		Because of his wily and fearless approach to bluffing, Mortensen has justly earned the nickname, "The Matador." A devoted fan of the Beatles, Carlos nonetheless displays a bloodthirsty and merciless attitude on the poker table that has little in common with the saying: "All you need is love".

		Mortensen continued his controlled aggression, and just after I'd made a margin note that it was going to be hard to stop him now, with his stack and table dominance growing, Matusow decided to do just that.
		Mortensen had given chips to the one guy left who had enough experience at this sort of thing to be able to use them.
		Mortensen went on offense, raising a substantial majority of the pots to $100,000 (although on hand No. 175, Tomko limped in, and Mortensen moved all in; as Tomko briefly debated a call, Slim told the crowd in that drawl of his, "He has been raised … considerably"), with Tomko letting most of them go.

		The ever-aggressive Juan Carlos moved all in with Q-J, much to the delight of Brad - that is, until Juan Carlos flopped a queen and rivered a jack, busting Brad's pocket aces.
		Although Juan Carlos thought Mike was on a bluff, I have been told that Mike's cards flashed as he threw them in the muck, exposing an A-Q. This only proves how confidence and aggression make a winner.
