Payam Eftekhar Jahromi (Pittsburgh, PA) also had a late night after finishing runner-up in Event 3.  But there's no rest for the weary as he's back looking to take home the Borgata hardware to Western Pennsylvania.

Eftekhar Jahromi, who earned $21,367 for second place, is playing as much poker as he can before returning to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) for his PhD in chemistry.

"Semi-pro," says Eftekhar Jahromi who's looking to balance part-time poker and a profession that will focus on research and development.

It will be another 3-4 years before Eftekhar Jahromi gets his next degree. He's originally from Iran and a world traveler who has lived in Switzerland.
