Frank1The1Tank 'frustrated' by WPT finish

2010-03-29 13:53:12

Frank Calo has admitted that he was disappointed to finish in third place at the recent World Poker Tour Hollywood Open.

Known by his internet moniker Frank1The1Tank, the card shark told PocketFives.com he "really wanted" to lift the title, but admitted his performance was still good.

According to Calo, the last hand in particular was frustrating, in which he saw his five-four top two pair lose out to eventual winner Carlos Mortensen's pocket threes.

On a board of 5-4-2, Mortensen had an up and down straight draw as well as a pair, but hit another three on the river to trip up.

"I felt awful when he binked a three on the river," Calo lamented. "Alas, it wasn't meant to be."

Commenting on the strength of the field, he said it was fairly soft to begin with, although the best players made it through to the final stages.

Mortensen took home nearly $400,000 for winning the event.
