PokerListings.com has straight pwned all competition at the World Poker Tour Season 5 World Championship event from the Fontana Room at Bellagio, where a record field of 639 entrants ponied up the $25,000 buy-in to contest for the richest prize in WPT history. When all was said and done, Carlos Mortensen joined PL.com on top of the pokersphere by taking down Kirk Morrison in heads-up play to claim a first prize of $3,970,415. Congratulations to both finalists and to the WPT on another great season at the tables!
