Event 1: What's Beef?
In one of the most interesting hands to take place so far here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open, former chip leader Coleem Chestnut found himself on the wrong end of a hero call.
According to the assembled railbirds who were abuzz after witnessing the action firsthand, Chestnut triple-barreled into Long, firing shot after shot at his opponent in an attempt to force the fold.
Although the final board was king-high with a bunch of blanks, Long somehow summoned the courage to make the call with just for ace-high. Despite posturing as if he held a piece of it, Chestnut was unable to produce a pair, and suddenly half of his stack was shipped across the table to a still shrieking Long.
"I'm knocking something off my bucket list!" she exclaimed to everyone within earshot. "This is so fun!"
