Event 2: 2nd Place - Salimbene

$350 + $50 +$100 Black Chip Bounty NLH   

Nick Salimbene (Brick, NJ)
$14,509

When you're hot, you're hot.  And Joe Gargan has been on fire at this final table.

On the final hand, Nick Salimbene got his chips in good holding KQ.

Joe looked him up with KT.  When he saw Nick's hand, Joe called for a Ten.

And he got it on the flop.  The board ran out T 2 2 4 J and Joe had all 3.8 million chips in play, plus two more bounty chips (Nick's and his own, which he gets to keep) for a total of 18.

Nick Salimbene finished in 2nd place, earning $14,509.

Nick plays poker for a living and was not even going to play this event because he doesn't like the bounty tournaments, but it worked out.  He collected 10 bounties for an extra $1,000 on top of his prize money.
