$28,978

John Aglialoro opened for 65k from the cutoff and Michael Marder raised to 155k on the button.  John called.

The flop came 9♠4♣2♥.

John led out for 200k, leaving himself only 404k behind.  Michael checked out John's remaining chips, then announced he was all-in.  After giving it some thought, John called.

Michael made a "uh-oh" noise, showing K♥8♥ (zip, nada).  John was ahead with pocket Jacks.

The the last two peeled off 3♥ A♥ giving Michael the back-door nut-flush.  "Did I mention how good I've been running in this event?" Michael said.

John Aglialoro was busted in 7th place.

At 68 years young,John was the elder statesman of this final table and held his own among the much younger players.
