Event 8: 2nd Place - Mantin

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

Mitchell Mantin (Las Vegas, NV)
$27,565

Mantin and Joey Liberta (Berlin, NJ) play heads up for more than 2 1/2 hours, swapping the chip lead back and forth, before Mantin eventually falls to a set of ducks.

Mantin is a real estate investor who's been playing poker on the side for 7 years. "My son taught me the game and he was 14 (years old) then," says Mantin, who's son Andrew turns 21 in November and is itching to join his father on the Borgata felt.

This is Mantin's second cash of the series after finishing 6th ($29,663) in Event 1 putting his two payday total at more than $57,000.
