Event 15 (Day 2): Dorsch Trending Upwards

Level 19 (Blinds 3,000/6,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 543
Players Remaining: 35

Michael Dorsch
Walking over to Table 51, Marc Gordon would have a bet of 70,000 in front of him on a board of A 4 5 8♠.  The action would be on Michael Dorsch, who would announce himself all-in and dump in a pile of chips (having Gordon covered).  Marc would look back at the clock before turning back around and saying, "Ok...I'll see it."  Gordon would push his chips across his cards, and the hands would be tabled:

Dorsch: J 10
Gordon: A 8

Board: A 4 5 8♠

River: 6♣

Gordon would not be able to fill up on the river, and he would be eliminated in 37th place, just short of the pay jump.  Dorsch would become one of the leaders in the field with that pot, chipping up to 505,000.
