Blinds 100k/200k/30k ante
Jeremy Kottler (Los Angeles, CA)
$251,968
After shipping a double-up to Cong Pham, Jeremy Kottler is down to less than 3 million and at risk against Vanessa Selbst.
Kottler: 5♣ 5♠
Selbst: A♥ 6♣
Flop: A♣ 4♠ 8♦
Turn: A♦
River:7♠
Selbst's trip aces wins the hand and knocks out Kottler in 4th place.
"I still don't know," says Kottler moments after his elimination, reflecting on if it was mistake to be all in with AJ against Cong Pham's AK.
"It was a button vs small blind situation and he's a very aggressive player, so I just don't know," he says about the hand that crippled him.
Kottler earns $251,968, to push his career tournament earnings to nearly $1 million. He considers himself semi professional and is also a commercial real estate broker.
This is Kottler's second career WPT televised final table (6th place, 2012) and first career Borgata cash.
"I'm drained," says Kottler while standing with his brother Zak, "it's been a grueling few days."
The Kottler brothers made history with the combined highest finish in a WPT event. Zak finished 15th for $30,312 and along with Jeremy's 4th place finish they beat the mark set here last year.
Vinny and Mukul Pahjua held the previous record with Vinny finishing 16th and Mukul coming in 34th place during the 2012 WPT Borgata Poker open.
