James Salmon (Davie, FL) 6th Place - $11,207

James Salmon (Davie, FL) had the most impressive tournament resume of the group returning for Day 3, and was definitely in a comfort zone with this "major-like" structure.  He was able to get two all-ins through during this level, teetering between 10-15 big blinds since the day started.  Salmon open shoved for 1,100,000 just moments ago, but ran into the buzzsaw that has been Marty Mordechai:

Salmon: A♣ Q♦

Mordechai: K♦ Q♠

Runout: K♣ Q♥ 8♦ 10♣ 10♠

James was in great shape to double up to a manageable stack, but watched as the dealer fanned out a flop giving Mordechai two pair.  The 10♣ on the turn gave Salmon some extra outs, but the board would pair on the river with the 10♠, sealing Salmon's fate.  James earns $11,207 for his sixth place finish, his largest cash since June of last year.  Marty is back up to 8,000,000, and sits behind only Eddie Uehara in chip counts.
