Champ: 2nd Place - Marder

$2,500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack NLH  

Michael Marder (Sewell, NJ)
$110,044

After a raising war, Michael Marder was all-in and Melad Marji considered it for a moment, then called.

Michael had pocket 7s.  Melad was racing with AQ off.

The board came Q J 9 K T putting a King-high straight on the board, but Melad's Ace gave him Broadway and the pot, and the win.

Michael Marder finished in second place, earning $110,044.

Michael finished 3rd in the 2012 Borgata Winter Open $500 No Limit Hold'em event, good for over $15,000.  Today's second place finish is not only his highest finish ever, it is also his largest.  In fact, the $110,044 prize money is almost quadruple his lifetime earnings to date!

Michael had lots of friends and family on the rail watching today, but wanted to send a Hi to his Uncle Paul, who has helped him with good advice.
