Event 14: 2nd Place - Jeffrey

$350 + $50 Deep Stack Semi-Turbo NLH (Re-Entry)

Blinds 40k/80k/10k ante

Andrew Jeffrey (Mansfield, OH)
$9,971

It's another close call for Andrew Jeffrey, but the poker pro has to settle for his second runner-up finish of the Borgata Poker Open.

"It sucks," he says about finishing second to Antonio Amato, "to get this close and not get the trophy."

Jeffrey had Amato drawing to a four-outer for the title, but Amato hit a gutshot straight on the river and doubled-up before winning a few hands later.

On the final hand, Jeffrey's pocket 5s are beaten by A-8 when Amato flops an 8 and rivers trips.

Earlier in the series, Jeffrey finished second to Johnson Nguyen in Event 8 ($560 entry) for a $67,000 payday, the largest of his tournament career.

Jeffrey adds $9,971 for this runner-up finish, the second largest of his career.
