"chaposticks"
"chaposticks"

In Level 5 with blinds of 400/800 and an ante of 100, "Buck73201" raised to 1,600 in early position and was called by "scottp" in the cutoff. A couple of folds ensued to put action onto "chaposticks" in the big blind, who three-bet to 6,800.

"Buck73201" four-bet to 12,000 and "scottp" got out of the way. "chaposticks" then five-bet jammed for 71,200 and "Buck73201" thought for a couple of moments before clicking the call button.

"chaposticks": {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
"Buck73201": {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The two were in a coin flip situation and "chaposticks" was both at risk for their tournament life and slightly ahead, in need of holding. The runout complied, coming {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} to give them jacks up and earn the double.

Five To Flop; No River Seen

"shelah629"
"shelah629"

In Level 4 with blinds of 300/600 and an ante of 75, "LexBabe" opened the action with a raise to 1,200 in middle position and received a call from "DigBickNick" in the hijack. "Metalhead420" called on the button, as did both "shelah629" in the small blind and "chen718" in the big blind to take action five ways to the streets.

The flop dropped {10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Hearts} and action checked to "LexBabe," who made a continuation-bet of 3,300. "DigBickNick" called and "Metalhead420" folded. The pattern then repeated with "shelah629" calling before "chen718" folded, and action proceeded three handed.

The turn came {2-Spades} and "shelah629" checked again. "LexBabe" fired a second barrel of 4,200, prompting a quick fold from "DigBickNick." Action was then back on "shelah629" and they put in a check-raise to 16,600.

"LexBabe" folded and "shelah629" took down the pot with their turn check-raise, taking their stack over 80,000 without needing to see a showdown.

Get to Know BorgataPoker.com Sponsored Pro Daniel Buzgon

Daniel Buzgon
Daniel Buzgon

You might recall that In early 2019, Daniel "leinad" Buzgon signed on as a BorgataPoker.com Sponsored Pro – one of three alongside Michael “Gags” Gagliano and Katie Stone.

“It took a little bit of time to get all the paperwork and stuff like that,” Buzgon previously told PokerNews of becoming sponsored. “It was in December when it started but wasn’t official until just before the Borgata Winter series. Duties include mainly playing a lot online, promoting the site, and trying to get new players on the site.”

According to HendonMob, Buzgon has more than $2.3 million in lifetime live tournament earnings since 2007. He’s a four-time World Series of Poker Circuit ring winner has played for big money before. In 2001, he finished third in the WPT Borgata Poker Open for $335,433, and last year he finished fifth in the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event for $202,942. He also finished fourth in the 2012 WPT bestbet Jacksonville for $94,624.

Additionally, Buzgon is a beast online where he’s amassed more than $3.1 million in earnings, of which $435,457 has come on BorgataPoker.com where he plays under the screen name “leinad.”

In Level 2 with blinds of 200/400 and an ante of 50, there was 16,400 in the middle with three-way turn action among "McDonald1884" in the small blind, "joeyh1935" in the big blind, and "Manduwap," who was in middle position.

The board was {4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and "McDonald1884" bet 400. "joeyh1935" pumped it up to 13,600 to force a fold from "Manduwap" and put action back onto "McDonald1884," who called.

Action then went heads up to the river {5-Hearts} and both players checked to take the hand to showdown.

"McDonald1884" showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for a pair of queens and "joeyh1935" showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker to earn them the pot of more than 43,000.
