Event 12: Julian Miranda - 5th Place

$170 + $30 Big Stack NL (2 Re-Entry)

Julian Miranda - 5th Place - $8,979

Julian started the tournament on his 25th birthday and he let the room know it. He was the chipleader for a good percentage of the later levels and even was bold enough to predict a win.

Alas he was getting blinded out with 5 players left and had to shove with A-5. Amine Chabane quickly called him holding A-6.

Chabane hit a 6 on the flop and Julian picked up the nut flush draw on the turn. But in the end 5th place for $8,979 will make a great birthday present.

Julian told me he played his butt off today and will see everyone in the Championship Event.
This the third deep run the kid has made at Borgata.

Julian's parting words, "To the poker world...hide your bankrolls".
