Event 17: 3rd Place - Judge

$350 + $50 Omaha H/L 8B

Mike Judge (New Hyde Park, NY) 

$4,741

Limits 30k/60k

Mike Judge is forced to fold to the river bet of Bob Scofield and he's left with less than 100k.

Judge is out a few hands later when Scofield gets the scoop.

"I played a lot of good hands three-handed, but it didn't work out," says Judge. "That's poker."

Judge, who's an operating engineer, finishes in third place.

Scofield is up to 1.3 million and has a 4 to 1 chip lead over David Rotches as they begin heads up play.
