Alex Bolotin (Brooklyn, NY)$97,558
Alex Bolotin is in a coin flip for his tournament life with pocket jacks against the AK of Russell Crane. After the flop brings two spades, Crane gets a king on the turn and an ace on the river for two pairs to win the hand.
"Given I was a short stack with 5 players left," says Bolotin, "I'm happy to finish third."
Bolotin has been a poker pro for 8 years and this cash gives him more than $2 million in career live tournament earnings. This is his second biggest score after winning a $500 event ($102k) in the 2008 Borgata Winter Poker Open.
Bolotin adds that his greatest poker accomplishment, "hasn't happened yet," and that he has the "best family and friends in the world."
