AJ Gambino (Royerdford, PA) 3rd Place - $63,225

AJ Gambino (Royerdford, PA) would return from break with just over (10) big blinds, and after he chopped his first all-in with Edward Novak (both holding the same hand), he'd be all-in and at risk against the same opponent (very next hand):

Gambino: Q♣ 2♣

Novak: A♥ 10♣

Runout: K♥ 8♠ 3♠ 9♦ A♠

Gambino lost a crucial flip against Isaiah Goldman moments before break (A♠ K♣ < 10♠ 10♣), and he just wasn't able to spin that short stack up returning from break.  Gambino would wish the two remaining players good luck, and collect his third largest tournament cash of his career ($63,225).
