And we find the money hand. Abe raised to 50K and Brian came over the top saying " all in." Abe called him and showed the 4 4 . Brian turned over the K T . The flop was murder for Brian when it came the J T 4 giving Abe a set. The 7 on the turn meant Brian was drawing dead. The 3 hit the river,

Brian Jensen takes 2nd for $240,560.


Steven Jacobs in 3rd for $132,308. WIth the flop of the Q 9 5 we have heads up play between Steven Jacobs and Abe Korotki. Abe bet 25K and Steven pushed all in for 158K more. Abe called him. Abe showed top pair with the Q 8 and Steven two overcards and the nut flush draw. He had the A K . The turn came the 9 . Steven had so many outs. Any spade or any ace or king. The T reared its ugly head on the river and we lose Steven.
