Gaspard Takes the Lead

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jean "Prince" Gaspard
Jean "Prince" Gaspard

A player in middle position limped in and it folded to Jean "Prince" Gaspard in the small blind who raised to 35,000. The big blind folded and the limper called.

They went heads up to the {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop and Gaspard bet 60,000. His opponent called and the turn was the {k-Diamonds}.

Gaspard slid out a bet of 160,000 and once again his opponent called. The river was the {6-Spades} and Gaspard moved all in covering his opponent who snap-called for his last 190,000.

Gaspard turned over {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} for the nuts and his opponent tossed his {q-Hearts}{10-Spades} face up into the muck.

Gaspard scored the knockout and he is now at the top of the chip counts with 1,200,000.

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Constantinos Psallidas
Constantinos Psallidas

Constantinos Psallidas was hovering in the middle of the chip counts but he just found a double up. Psallidas is now one of the first players to cross the half a million chip mark with 550,000.

Psallidas is having a Borgata Winter Poker Open to remember as he kicked it off by earning his largest career score of over $164,000 in Event #1.

He then fell just shy of the Saturday Series final table and he tells PokerNews his mission is to make another final table tonight and take home his first Borgata Poker Open trophy.
