| James Salmon (Davie, FL) |
James Salmon (Davie, FL) was last featured on the blog during Event 8 ($360 No Limit Hold'em $200,000 GTD), when he reached the tournament's final table. While that event ended in a heads-up chop, there was never any discussion of a deal before that point, so Monday's Day 3 was all about the action. Salmon was able to grind a shorter stack for a good portion of the final table, and got his chips in with a great opportunity to double up, but ran into the eventual runner-up Marty Zabib. Salmon's A Q < K Q of Zabib, with Marty flopping two pair and eliminating James in sixth place. The deep runs didn't stop there though, as James reached the final table of Event 12 ($250 No Limit Hold'em) the following day. Salmon would eventually end up in third place, adding another $2,600 to his career earnings, and bringing his series earnings over $13,000.
James has over $456,000 in live tournament earnings, highlighted by a second place finish in Event 1 of the 2016 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open ($91,097). He also is the proud owner of two Isle Poker trophies, both during the Isle Poker Open series (one in 2013, and the other in 2014). Salmon is just one of many notables in the field today, including the likes of:
