Event 13: 2nd Place - Fafard

$350 + $50 Big Stack No Limit Hold'em    

Once Steve Scales had the chip lead, it was only a matter of time.

 Jacob Fafard (New Ipswich, NH)
$18,282

He had Jacob Fafard all-in after flopping trip Aces with his A9.  Steve had all the chips on the table and his first Borgata title.

Jacob Fafard had to settle for second place and $18,282.  He's reconsidering his 'other' job, which is as a chef.  After turning 21 this past summer, Jacob is getting his first taste of casinos and live poker.  He honed his skills playing online and now is taking them to the felt.

His first recorded cash was just a few days ago in event 7, $350 Big Stack No Limit, where he finished 52nd for $740.

He had a handful of friends on the rail rooting for him all the way to the end.
