Event 1: Defending Champ Finally Joins Field

$350 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Rapoport & Maccaroni

The final alternates to make the field includes last year's winner of Event 1, Yevgeni "Jack" Rapoport (Brooklyn, NY).

"Going for the repeat. How do you like my chance with 25 bigs," laughs Rapoport who opened the 2012 Borgata Summer Poker Open by winning $79,000 and the trophy.

Rapoport and Matt Maccaroni (Hamilton, NJ), another Borgata regular, have yet to play a hand and are starting with 25k stacks as blinds are moving up to 500/1k/100 ante.

While this is Rapoport's one and only bullet, Maccaroni fired a shot on Day 1A and is getting a late start on Day 1B.

Registration is now closed and the total entries are at more than 1,350. The cage is doing a final count as it calculates the prize pool.

Level 10 is underway.
