Carlos Matos raised to 17,000 from the hijack and Steve Molokovich called from the small blind.

They went heads up to the {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop and Molokovich check-called a bet of 15,000 from Matos.

Both players checked the {q-Hearts} turn card and the {k-Hearts} completed the board. Molokovich checked to Matos who bet 15,000 and Molokovich check-raised to 51,000.

Matos called and Molokovich turned over {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the nut flush to take the pot.

The Event #22 players have returned from dinner break and play is back underway.

Howard Wolper found himself severely short stacked at the 1,000/2,000 blind level with just 1,500 and less than one big blind.

He managed to find a double up and never looked back. The all time leader in Borgata tournament cashes is now playing 110,000 and he is closing in on the money once again.
