James Salmon (Davie, FL)

The action at Table 2 was picked up on the flop of J♠ 10♣ 7♥, with Joseph Couden and James Salmon heads-up.  Couden had just bet 175,000, followed by a shove from Salmon for just under 800,000.  The two player's stack sizes were extremely close, so a call from Couden would essentially be for his tournament life.  Joseph took little time with his decision, cutting out the chips for a call as Salmon rolled over his hand:

Flop: J♠ 10♣ 7♥

Couden: J♣ 10♠

Salmon: Q♥ 9♥

Turn: Q♣

River: 6♥

Salmon's second deep run this series ends, as he could not find a river that would steal away the pot from Couden.  James falls short of his second final table in a "major" this series, but earns himself $6,182 for his 13th place finish.

Joseph Couden - 1,800,000

James Salmon - 13th Place ($6,182)
