Event 5: V for Victory? - Late Arrivals

$350 + $50 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Ilya Vasserman (Huntingdon Valley, PA) and Paul Vacchio (Inwood, NY) are taking their seats as Level 4 (100/200) is underway.

"Rough traffic," because of the weather says Vasserman who is a true Borgata regular.  Vasserman's poker resume has 13 career tournament cashes including 4 final tables, all at Borgata.

Vasserman is a new construction home builder at the shore and says while laughing that, "unfortunately," it gives him more time for poker. His highest career finish was 8th place earlier this year in the Borgata Winter Poker Open Black Chip bounty event for $8,000.

While Vasserman is a part time player, Vacchio is a full time grinder who won a Borgata trophy almost a year ago today in the 6-Max Deepstack for $21,000.

Vacchio says he likes to travel when he's not playing poker and recently spent time in the Bahamas and Puerto Rico.

As late arrivals continue to dodge the rain drops, entry into this event will be open until ~4:15 pm.
