James Calderaro battled back to nearly even the count with Ken Fishman. Fishman opened to 100,000 from his button, Calderaro moved all in, and Fishman called.

Calderaro:
Fishman:

They were racing with nearly identical stacks and Calderaro took the lead when he paired his ace on the flop. The turn gave Fishman some chop outs, but the river sent the huge pot to Calderaro.

Fishman was left with only 20K, found two tiny doubles, but was sent out on the third hand. He earned $23,560 for his runner-up finish while Calderaro won $35,350 plus a seat in the PPO Championship.

1st: James Calderaro – $35,350
2nd: Ken Fishman – $23,560
