Event 8: Maccaroni & Miguel Show

$500 + $60 Deeper Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Blinds 12k/24k/3k ante

Borrero & Maccaroni

Miguel Borrero (Jersey City, NJ) is one of the more gregarious Borgata players and always yucking it up with players and railbirds.

"My man is trying to take advantage of me," he says about his opponent on the first hand back from break.

Borrero check-raises all in on a two-club flop.  "Go ahead, pick one," he says, and Matt Maccaroni (Hamilton Square, NJ) flips over the J♣ .  "Ace-Jack of clubs," someone surmises based on the preflop action.

"You never take my picture," Borrero says to the media, "now you want to, because I'm not short stacked. I see how it is."

Borrero began the hand with more than 1 million and is now up to 1.3 million.  Maccaroni is also a big stack at 1.5 million.
