Table Of Contents
Some big prizes are finally set to be awarded at Borgata Fall Poker Open after a busy day at the felt saw several events running, most notably the $600 Deepstack Kick-Off getting down to two tables.
$600 Deepstack
The second day of Event #3: $600 Deepstack Kick-Off has now reached the final 18 of the 233 that began the day and after the dust had settled it was Jean Paul Norero leading the way.
Norero sat around average for most of the day and it was not until after dinner break that he really started to gain traction. The Brooklyn native catapulted late in the day, sending multiple players out en route to bagging the chip lead with his 4,215,000 stack.
Nipping at the heels of the leader is BorgataPoker.com sponsored pro Katie Stone, who ended the day with 4,145,000. Stone had an action-packed day that saw her stack take a few hits early on, but she fought back and ended the day on a high note as she bagged an impressive stack that is good for second on the leaderboard.
Some familiar faces to find a final day birth include Soukha Kachittavong (3,400,000), Patrick Ibrahim (2,715,000), Bin Weng (2,505,000), Victor Ramdin (2,500,000), Mike Linster (1,585,000), Gilberto Taveras-Garcia (1,485,000), Markus Alim (845,000), and Jon Borenstein (695,000).
Ramdin has been on a nice run on the East Coast, notching a couple of recent wins that were worth more than $100,000 between them, including a Parx 300 chop.
Play resumed at noon on Saturday. The tournament will not end until a winner is crowned, taking down the $155,251 first-place prize, along with a Borgata Fall Poker Open trophy.
$500 Bounty
Event #4 of the Borgata Fall Poker Open is the $500 Black Chip Bounty NLHE with a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. There were 417 total entries and 49 players will return on Saturday to resume Day 2 play.
Efthymia Litsou is at the top of the chip counts with a massive stack of 578,000. There are plenty of familiar faces advancing including John Lytle, Rick Rossetti, Everton Taylor, John McGuinness and Josias Santos.
We will be crowning our newest BFPO champion on Day 2 and the winner will be taking home $36,166 along with the BFPO trophy.
$560 Super Survivor
With a couple of multi-day events running, there was still a chance to get in and out of Borgata on a one-day event with the $560 Super Survivor. Players could turn $560 into $5,000 if they could manage to make the top 10% or so of the field.
The tournament drew 154 entries and 14 would be getting the full payout while another player would get close with $4,690.
Leonardo Palermo, Lucas Braga, and Andrew Klein were among those making the final 14 while Michael Moore snagged the slightly shorter payout.
Action at Borgata continues Saturday with four events running, highlighted by the conclusion of the $600 Deepstack and the first six-figure prize of the series. Follow along with everything on the Borgata live reporting landing page.
