Carlos Mortensen Wins WPT Championship!

It looks like I have to rewrite The TOP TEN Greatest Poker Accomplishments to now include Carlos Mortensen! He is now the only player in the world to win a WSOP Main Event, WPT, and World Poker Tour Championship! Surely this is one of the Top Ten Greatest Poker accomplishments of all time! Not to mention that Phil Hellmuth (who is at the top of my previous rankings was at the final table (not the top 6 but top 9) but was knocked out in 7th place.

******Correction- I belive Phil was knocked out in 18th rather than 7th.
