Alex Torres (Cliffside Park, NJ)
$19,366
On the final hand Torres is all in preflop with K♣ 4♠ against the J♥ 10♥ of Tom Evers.
Torres flops a four, but a river jack gives Evers a higher two pairs and the title.
"The river got me a couple of times," says Torres who was one card away from the title earlier in the three hour heads up match and settles for runner-up.
"I'm used to the ups and down, that's poker."
"I'm used to the ups and down, that's poker."
The 29-year-old professional gives a special Father's Day shout out to his children Jacob, Makayla, Analissa and Xavian. Torres sports a lot of tattoos, many of them spiritual in nature, and gives credit for his success "my Lord, Jesus Christ."
Alex Torres earns $19,366 for his second place finish.
