Tony Sinishtaj on Day 2 of the Borgata Winter Poker Open Six-Max Event
Tony Sinishtaj flopped top pair with his on the board, but he needed to dodge spades when Caufman Talley tabled for the nut flush draw.
Turn:
River:
When a fifth spade could not be found, Sinishtaj scored the double up and he now sits with approximately 725,000, while Talley dropped to 385,000 with the loss.
We saw Matt Affleck's stack being cut apart and counted up, and with his displayed near the chips, it was clear he had just scored a much needed double up. Sporting the fresh #25 jersey of Richard Sherman - the brash young superstar defender who helped tip the Seattle Seahawks into the Super Bowl - Affleck was not boisterous in celebration, but his smile said it all.
The victim in this case was Tony Sinishtaj, who tried to bust Affleck with just but found himself confounded and cornered by the best.
The final runout read and Affleck retook his seat armed with more than a million chips, as he tries to win the Six-Max event one week before his beloved Seahawks try to win the Super Bowl.
Hwang turned the trick once again, flopping an ace with in the hole and getting value through the river. We missed that hand go down ourselves, but the railbirds were kind enough to let us know that Hwang - one of the most experienced players left in contention and a final tablist already here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open - won another hand with two aces in the hole.
We'll let you know if he can register the hat trick as the race to the Six-Max final table continues.
Tony Sinishtaj just caught an ace on the river to stay alive, after running his into Caufman Talley's for all of it before the flop.
By fourth street the board read and it appeared that Talley would notch his second knockout in a single orbit after eliminating Jesse Cohen moments earlier.
River:
Just like that, Sinishtaj slumped back in his chair, his brush with the brink over - and his chip stack suddenly swollen to over 1 million after being dead to an ace with one card to come.
Caufman Talley Just Busted Jesse Cohen With Aces over Big Slick

Talley three-bet when the action was on him, and Cohen four-bet jammed for the rest of it. Talley snapped it off with his bullets and he found a crushed was the only thing between him and a monster pot.
The final board rolled out to keep the aces out in front, and with that Talley surged to nearly 1 million in chips while bringing us one step closer to the six-handed final table.
