Event 12: 3rd Place - Sorscher

$500 + $60 Six-Max No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry) 

Blinds 30k/60k/5k ante

Jon Sorscher (Lynbrook, NY)
$13,793

Jon Sorscher's chip stack was all over the map after the dinner break and he eventually busts in third place.

Sorscher had his Aces cracked by Sardor Gaziev which left him with only 195k, but after two double-ups including with AA against A3, he's back to 800k and in the mix.

But an unlucky 7 on the river cripples Sorscher, again by Gaziev.

Sorscher: AJ
Gaziev: T9

Flop: A J 8 (Sorscher two pairs, Gaziev OE straight draw)

Turn: 2

River: 7

The river gives Gaziev a Jack-high straight and a 660k double-up. The hand leaves Sorscher with 330k (6 bb) and is eventually knocked out by Richard Corley.

"I feel pretty good," says Sorscher, who began Day 2 as the chip leader. "I got my chips in with the best hand," he says about the AA and AJ hands that crippled him.

Sorscher is out in third place for $13,793. He and his wife Connie can't play the Championship Event and are heading back to New York.

Heads Up Chip Counts

Richard Corley: 2.3 million
Sardor Gaziev 1.2 million
