$350 + $50 Deepest Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
Blinds 3K/6K Antes 500
There are 140 players left with a 172K average stack.
At one table, Lee Childs opponent mucked his hand after they both checked the river. The dealer was not moving the cards into the muck, as they sat just in front of the player. "Dealer, please muck the cards," Childs asked nicely. The dealer made no motion to do so and Childs had to ask again. Finally, she mucked the hand, much to Childs relief as he showed his jack high and scooped the pot.
With just over 100K in the pot, Thomas Balla (Queens, NY) was facing an all in call of approximately 200K. Balla had his opponent covered by about 10K. The board read K♥2♥2♦5♣7♦. Balla asked for an exact count. "So it's less than what I have," he said. It was verified that he did have his opponent covered. Balla grabbed his chips and slid them into the middle. His opponent turned over A♦6♥. Balla casually flipped over A♥J♦. The table let's out a collective ooohhhh of appreciation for the call. "I can't believe he called with Ace Jack," his opponent said, shaking his head, as he walked out of the tournament area. Balla has 2nd and 4th place finishes to his credit from previous Borgata Poker Open events and looks well on his way to another deep run.

Event 12: Flopped Set No Good in Texas Hold'em
$400 + $50 H.O.R.S.E.
Level 7: Limits 400/800
"Flop a set of Aces on the button and don't win," laments Scott Froom (Philadelphia, PA) who is part of a three-way chop in a round of Texas Hold'em.
"I don't know what I was doing in the hand," says Patricia Yannuzzi (Westfield, NJ), "but when he calls, I call," referring to Frank Alger (Colonial Beach, VA).
There's a flush on the board and not one player holds a club, as Yannuzzi's JJ and Alger's KQ get a reprieve.
"The tournament began with (limits) 300/600," says borgata trophy winner Tim D'Alessandro (West Chester, PA). He doesn't like early slow pace and arrived late, as did three-time trophy holder Barry "The Pirate" Levy (Brooklyn, NY).
"It would be hard to be out right now," says Levy, who won this event in the 2011 Borgata Fall Poker Open, noting that things will pick up after the dinner break.
More than 100 players are in the field with registration closed.

Event 8: Big Laydown For Albis

Blinds 15k/30k/4k ante
Shortly after the blinds went up:
On a flop of T 5 3 with two clubs, Frank Bonacci (sb) bet 118k.
David Albis raised to 250k.
Frank announced he was all-in, sending David into the tank. Frank had David covered, so the call would be all-in for David.
David took off his shades and stood up, apparently agonizing over the decision.
He finally decided to let it go and Frank's big stack got bigger.

Currently 310 players remain with an average stack of 78k (49 bb). No word if the man is ahead or behind the 2.4 million chip pace.

Blinds 12k/24k/3k ante
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.

Borgata Poker Open: Mid-Series Recap Video
It's been an eventful first half of the series during this year's Borgata Poker Open, and that's phrasing things lightly. Another Borgata Poker Open kick-off event ended up exceeding everyone's expectations (which is difficult to do), with two record breaking numbers (largest field and largest single day field). Not to be overlooked in that event would be another amazingly deep run by Dan Wach (Boonton, NJ), who finished runner up for the second year in a row. He was bested by only Maksim Rozenfeld (Staten Island, NY), who would end up taking home the trophy and $363,091.
As the series continued we saw numerous familiar faces taking home Borgata trophies for the first time, and some even adding those to their total. Event 6 ($1090 NLH )winner Will "The Thrill" Failla would become the first player to reach five titles at Borgata, and he sat down with us to discuss the win the morning after:

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

"They don't want me to win," says Wach, "I'm going to have to play tight," knowing full well that his table will be the first to break.
Wach, who finished second in Event 1 for $236,000, is moved to Table 1 and is on the left of Tony Sinishtaj (Flushing, NY) and the two end up in a huge pot.
Wach 5-bets all in with KQ against Sinishtaj's pocket Aces. Wach flops two pairs to take the lead, but Sinishtaj goes runner-runner diamonds for the winning flush.
Sinishtaj doubles 283k and is now up to 650k, while Wach is cut to 430k.

These two tangled at the Omaha H/L 8B final table (Event 5) with Engelbert earning his third trophy while denying Reslock (4th place) his fourth.
Also in the field will be "Miami" John Cernuto who, like Reslock, is a WSOP bracelet holder.
