Event 12 Recap
$600 + $60 Six-Max No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Abraham Korotki took a massive chip lead when he busted third place finisher Anthony An. Runner-up Anthony Caruso was not able to overcome the chip deficit heads-up and had to settle for second place. Korotki will collect $22,698, his third Borgata Open trophy, and a 16x20 framed photo of himself, taken by professional photographer Eric Harkins of Image Masters (IMPDI).
Anthony An jumped out to an early chip lead on day one and held on to that chip lead most of the day. When they reached the money at the final 12, there were moments when other players took the lead, but when they reached the final six, An was on top again. His penultimate hand was an ill-timed bluff in a battle of the blinds with Abraham Korotki. An shoved on an innocuous T 9 6 flop and got snap-called by Korotki, who held pocket Aces. An had no pair and no draw and was left with less than four big blinds. Korotki got the rest of his chips on the next hand, sending An to the rail in third place ($10,403).
Anthony Caruso won a Six Max event here during the 2010 Borgata Summer Poker Open and was shooting for his second title, but Korotki's chips and experience were too much to overcome. Caruso picked up $13,997 for his second place finish.
A total of 130 entries accounted for total buy-ins of $78,000. The final 12 players got paid. At the end of day one, they had played to the final table of six, who returned for day two today.
Ironically, Anthony Caruso was the shortest stack of the six players starting the final table and Abraham Korotki was the second-shortest stack. The fact that these two players wound up heads-up is a testament to their poker skill (and a bit of luck).
"It was a fun tournament." Korotki said. When asked about the Six Max format, he replied "I didn't [like it] until about 6-8 months ago. Then I realized at this buy-in level, it brings the best players out".
Korotki went on to say "Borgata tournaments are the best. It's safe, clean, and the management and poker room people are fabulous". He's going to celebrate his win tonight and probably take tomorrow off, then start his Championship venture on Monday, day 1B.
Today Abraham Korotki became the eighth member of an elite group of players who have each won three Borgata Open titles, joining Bill Blanda, Howard Wolper, Patricia Barsanti-Chou, Chris Reslock, Yuebin Guo, Allen Kessler, and Jeff Papola. Will 'the Thrill' Failla still stands alone as the only four-time Borgata Open titleist.

At the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event, his first WSOP main event, Kraut was seated at a table with soon-to-be main event champion Greg Merson.
“I had Greg all in and drawing thin on Day 2,” Kraut said. “In his own
words, he punted and got there. There was over 100 big blinds in the pot
and it crippled me and sent him on his way.”
Within about 30 minutes Kraut was out of the tournament. Merson went on to win the whole thing for more than $8.5 million.

Event 13 Recap
$350 + $50 + $100 Black Chip Bounty PLO - High (Re-Entry)
After a long, grueling, back-and-forth heads-up Omaha duel, Michael Fiorito (Morganville, NJ) comes out on top of Christian Fyke (Rivertowne, PA) after flopping a set of Jacks. Michael takes home the Event 13 trophy as well as $8,793.
"I was on a great run today, caught some good cards, ran some good bluffs, and made some good reads" explained Fiorito moments after winning his first Borgata Summer Poker Open Event title.
Event 13 kicked off at high-noon with 74 Omaholics battling it out for their part of the $25,900 prize money. Borgata regulars such as Gil Sacs, Robert Melo, Darius Studdard, Chris Baud, Kevin Truong, and Manh Nguyen all faced the felt and all failed to cash.
Oddly enough, our champion honed his PLO skills on a daily boat-ride into New York City. For forty minutes each way to work, Michael plays PLO with a group of guys called "The Boat Crew". Thus the boys are used to catching a lot of rivers. Much of the crew was following their shipmate on the Borgata Poker Blog via live updates.
Today's tournament, a favorite of die-hard Omaha players, added a $100 black-chip bounty. Michael Fiorito captured the most bounties with a dozen. The proud father of three celebrates Father's Day a couple days early as he wins all 1.1 million chips and sets sail home to Morganville, NJ holding $8,793 for his wife Elissa and kids Rachael, Adam, & Leah.

$600 + $60 Six-Max No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
As the seconds were ticking down for the final hand of the night, David Corazza shipped in his short stack pre-flop holding K-6 of spades. He got three callers and was begging for the quad-up.
Anthony An bet the turn causing Abraham Korotki to call and Gary Bowker to fold. Then on the river Anthony and Abraham checked it down.
An tabled A-K and scooped the entire pot against a board of 3-J-Q-K-2.
Corazza rode a short stack for what felt like forever but his luck finally ran out with 0:00 left on the game clock.
He takes home $3,216 for his 7th place finish.

But it didn't take Abe long to re-capture all those lost chips. He won a race against Gary Bowker when his A-K held up vs. Gary's 6-6.
Abe jammed his 150,00 small blind short stack in and doubled up after spiking an Ace on the flop.
Board: 2-A-9-7-3.
Gary politely said, "nice hand" as his stack shrunk to 600,000.
In twenty minutes the remaining players will bag and tag and call it a night.

Board: 2-A-9-7-3.
Gary politely said, "nice hand" as his stack shrunk to 600,000.
In twenty minutes the remaining players will bag and tag and call it a night.
