    Awesome performance:

    - 2nd hand, loses two-thirds of his stack overplaying JJ. He actually would have probably lost a lot less, because the board was low and connected and got ugly, but by the turn he was whining "o.k., take it" "I guess I'll pay it off", etc., so Carlos Mortensen naturally kept value betting instead of slowing down the action.

    - few hands later, loses half his remaining stack by calling to river with J7 on Jxx flop.

    - despite having only about 1200 chips left in 10 minutes, he proceeds to call 3 successive preflop raises out of position, and check/folds the flop each time, losing half his remaining stack.

    - Uncertain if he raised/called yet again the next hand, but on a Q9x flop, Harrington bet and Gold called allin with 84s and a flush draw, when Harrington had Q9. Doesn't get there, out in under 20 minutes 1st level.

    -to add insult to injury, he gets hounded as soon as he's eliminated by some assclown from SD who says he has a gift for him...which turns out to be a teeth whitener product, which the assclown is the founder of - he then tries to harrass Jamie Gold's mother, who says something about the death of her husband (nice).

    - Assclown then becomes best friends with another railer who complains he can't use teeth whitener because flouride in the water system in LA has given his teeth spots. He then tries to give Johnny Chan a hat with his logo on it - Chan just belches and starts laughing at the guy, and says "I'll save it for the final table".

    - Also - Russ Hamilton not invited to Champions Invitation because of UB scandal.

    - Kudos to Huck Seed, who when asked by some large-chested cougar if he would give her an autograph said, "sorry, I'm playing a tourney here, but I'll give you [and your large breasts] a hug", which he did and then sauntered back to his table.

    What is the payout? does the winner get any money?

    Is a braclet awarded to the winner?
