Event 5 (Day 2): 3rd Place - Ribak ($20,600)

Event 5 ($570 NLH - $250,000 Guarantee)
Level 24 (Blinds 12,000/24,000/3,000)
Total Entries: 467

Day 1B Players Remaining: 10
Chip Average: 1,165,000

Kobi Ribak's (Boca Raton, FL) was probably named on the blog more than any other player on Day 2, which gave the blogger an opportunity to spell his name wrong at least seven times.  Ribak was able to keep his head on straight, and keep his focus on the matter at hand, ending up with his career highlighting score ($20,600).  Kobi's tournament moment came against one time chipleader Zack Mullinex.  Ribak flopped top pair and wait at risk against Zack's two pair, but Kobi ran out clubs to make a flush and double up.  The rest...history.
