Dylan Hortin Doubles Through Noah Schwartz

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Noah Schwartz Began Day 3 by Doubling Dylan Hortin Up
Noah Schwartz Began Day 3 by Doubling Dylan Hortin Up

Noah Schwartz tried to bust a dangerous opponent to his left in Dylan Hortin, who was all in for his last 42,000 or so.

Showdown:

Schwartz: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Hortin: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

As is usually the case, the two were racing for stacks and it would be up to the deck to decide the winner.

Flop: {2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Hortin took the lead with his pair of kings and Schwartz was now drawing to the two remaining sixes to score the knockout. The turn ({3-Diamonds}) and river ({3-Spades}) failed to change anything though, and Schwartz was forced to ship about one-third of his stack to the next seat over, dropping to just over 100,000 while Hortin approaches that same mark.

Laz Hernandez Leads the Counts Heading Into Day 3
Laz Hernandez Leads the Counts Heading Into Day 3

Laz Hernandez leads the counts once again as the Day 3 of the Borgata Winter Poker Championship WPT Main Event Championship. The local amateur swam through the sea of sharks here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open WPT Main Event Championship once again, and after entering the day as the chip leader, Hernandez turned the trick a second time.

Laz Hernandez refuses to lose and the local amateur dominated his table once again after entering the day as the chip leader.

A clash with a poker legend left Hernandez on the right side of two big hands, as he flopped quad nines to down Mike Sexton's paired ace-king. From there, not even a bit of confusion regarding a lucky river card could stop Hernandez, and he continued to amass chips at a startling rate, ending the night with 753,000 to narrowly edge Matthew Haugen (735,500) for top honors.

A number of notable names came and went today, including the defending champion of this event Andy Hwang, Matt Salsberg, Matt Waxman, Kevin Eyster, Tony Dunst, Steve Brecher, Tony Ruberto, Victor Ramdin, Ravi Raghavan, Anthony Zinno, Jordan Cristos, Erick Lindgren, Derrick Rosenbarger, Allen Kessler, Lee Childs, Darren Elias, Ebony Kenney, Justin Zaki, Jeff Madsen, Chris Tryba, Aaron Steury, Kathy Liebert, Todd Terry, James Woods and Jacob Bazeley.

A total of 188 players survived the Day 2 killing fields to return today at noon local time, and the field will play through the money bubble to arrive at the final three tables. Notables to track as the day continues include Dan Heimiller (556,000), Robert "Uncle Krunk" Panitch (540,500), John D'Agostino (501,000), Chad Brown (455,500), Chris Reslock (421,500), John Holley (415,500) and Faraz Jaka (340,000). Follow along with PokerNews' live coverage of this WPT Main Event Championship live from the floor of the Borgata, as 190 become 27 and the the stars make their sprint toward the shiny WPT Champions Cup - and a huge six-figure score
