Event 1: Level Up....Tran Tanks...Two More Bust
$350 + 50 Deep Stack NL Hold'em (Re-Entry)
After Michael Marder opened the pot to 110,000, Tony Tran three-bet to 315,000 from the button. Mark Sykes who was in the big blind asked Marder how much he was playing, and after receiving the answer (about 900,000), Sykes declared himself all-in. Marder folded behind and Tran was deep in the tank, for about 6-7 minutes.
While Tran was thinking we lost Dixit Patel (Langhorn, PA) in 25th place ($2,480), and Joseph Ramsaroop (Rockaway, NJ) in 24th place ($2,480).
Tran would eventually fold his hand, and we'd be on to the next one. All the while the blinds would increase in the middle of that hand to 30,000/60,000/5,000.

$350 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Jason Loehrs (Drexel Hill, PA) opened for 50k and then Eric Schutte (Lockbourne, OH) jammed for 202k.
Jason was ahead with pocket Queens. Eric held A9 of diamonds.
The flop was 4 3 2 with two clubs, which gave Eric four more outs with a straight draw.
An Ace came on the turn, giving Eric the lead with a pair of Aces and it looked like he was due a double-up.
Then a two-outer Queen landed on the river, giving Jason a set of Queens and the pot. He chipped up to 1.05 million.
Eric Schutte busted out in 44th place, earning $1,502.
43 players remain. Average stack is 804k.

Event 1: Sykes-ing Them Out
$350 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
While players are on break, Table 6 works overtime in a huge pot.
We pick up the action with the board showing K♦ 4♠ 3♠ K♠ 6♣, 1.2 million in the pot and three players in the hand.
With 500k in his remaining stack, Said Michailidis (Montreal, Canada) checks as does Luke Edwards (Mansfield, OH) who has 660k left. After going in the tank, Mark Sykes (Margate, NJ) moves all in for 500k and it creates a buzz.
A crowd gathers around the table as the hand goes well into the break. Michailidis eventually tank-folds, while Edwards acts more quickly and shows the K♣ for trip Kings before folding.
Sykes lets out a big laugh as the railbirds beg him to show a bluff. He doesn't give up any information as he rakes the pot and is now the chip leader with 1.5 million.
Once everything settles down the 50 remaining players are back in action with an average stack of 692k (29 BB) and blinds at 12k/24k/3k ante.

Event 1: Great Escape From Table 8
$350 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Table 8 is by far the deepest with more than 4 million chips total and most of them belong to four players.
Chris Farley (West Deptford, NJ) has been one of the big stacks all day with 1.1 million. On his direct left is Jason Loehrs (Drexel Hill, PA) who has 1 million, while two to Farley's left is Mark Sykes (Margate, NJ) who has 800k.
Also at the table is Baruch Altman (Monsey, NY) who is at 900k.
The short stacks are looking to hang on as they'll be breaking in the next few minutes, while the big stacks are playing it cautiously as they too don't want to get involved in a 2 million chip pot unnecessarily.
**** 4:55 update****
The broken table has Sykes and Farley flipping spots after moving to table 6; Farley is now on Sykes left as we're now down to seven tables.

Event 1: Bubble Boy Gets Paid
$350 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
In a weird twist of fate, the bubble boy is Richard Leach (Washington, D.C.) and is the first player to get paid today.
Leach busts with KK against Jerry Stecher (Elmhurst, NY) who hit a wheel on the river while holding AK. Leach heads straight to the pay window for his consolation prize of $1,000 for finishing second in chips at the end of Day 1A.
Leach spirits lift just a bit as he realizes the bonus money is better than a 64th place finish.
On his elimination hand, Leach calls a preflop raise with pocket Kings and then calls a 3-bet to 55k (blinds 5k/10k/1k ante).
On the flop of Q 7 5, Stecher open shoves 500k and covers Leach, who snap calls with 300k.
After a 3 on the turn, Stecher has the winning straight when a 5 hits the river.
"I wouldn't have done it, if I didn't have chips," says Stecher who is now close to 900k.
Leach's elimination sends the remaining 130 players into the money as they earn $737, but Leach takes home a bit more than that.

Event 2: Another Day, Another Trophy
$350 + $50 + $100 Black Chip Bounty NLH (Re-Entry)
The calm before the storm has trophy hunters at the tables with a fresh start.
Many of the players are Event 1 casualties, and while disappointed they aren't playing in the noon restart with a chance to win nearly $100,000, they're pleased that there's always another Borgata tournament.
Coleem Chestnut (Brooklyn, NY) is one of those who is licking his wounds after he watched his chip lead go to Emmanuel Perez (Rego Park, NY) who enters Day 2 second overall.
"That's poker," says Chestnut who is ready to hit the reset button. He's a Borgata cash game regular and works in the computer industry.
Today's bounty tournament will be a one-day grind with 15k in chips and 30 minute levels to start (Levels 16+ / 40 min.).
Event 2 of the Borgata Summer Poker Open is underway.
