Event 14: Happy Father's Day Eve

$500 + $60 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry) 

Karl Sirotkin - 185,000

Big double up this level for Karl Sirotkin (Maryland) who hits the nut straight on the same card his opponent hit a lower straight.  With that hand Sirotkin surges up to 185,000 in chips.

"I've been married for 40 years and want to thank my wife Kristin for giving me this tournament as my Father's Day gift" said Karl.

Family is important to Karl who's looking forward to taking in his 100 year old Father in the very near future.  "And he's still sharp" quipped Karl.

Turns out poker runs deep in the Sirotkin family tree as legend has it Karl's grandmother was quite the poker shark.
