$350 + 50 Deep Stack NL Hold'em (Re-Entry)
After Michael Bonney doubles through Khoi Ta, we are now sitting basically all even in chips three handed. Each player has roughly 11,000,000-11,500,000.
As we were typing this entry though, Bonney got involved in a sizable pot with Power. We walked up just as Bonney had called Power's 5,000,000 raise on the turn (Board: 6♥ 8♦ 10♥ J♠). After a king hit the river, Powers then checked, and Bonney announced himself all-in. Powers followed by mucking his hand, and it's not Bonney the chip leader.

Event 2 Recap
$350 + $50 + $100 Black Chip Bounty NLH (Re-Entry)
After nearly 17 hours of play, David Eilers had mowed down the competition to win $27,091 and his first Borgata Open trophy. He also collected 18 bounties along the way, making him the top Bounty Hunter.
Professional poker player Steven Tabb padded his poker resume with a second place finish, good for $15,965, plus 8 bounties. He already has more than $435,000 in tournament earnings to his credit including a $71k win in a Borgata $1k Deep Stack Double Play event in February.
Third place went to Wall Street trader Yannis Vitsentzos along with $9,192.
285 Bounty Hunters took a shot in this event, creating total buy-ins of $99,750 and putting an additional $28,500 worth of bounties into play. Although lots of players collected bounties, only the final 27 collected a piece of the prize pool.
It was approaching 4am when they finally finished and everyone was anxious to get to bed. Eilers owns a BBQ Restaurant back home in North Carolina and has to get back to work, but is hoping to get his wife to cover for him so he can stay and play the $500 + $60 Big Stack NLH event later today. If not, he'll try to be back for the Championship event.
"Borgata runs the best tournaments in the country, by far" Eilers said.
In addition to the prize money and shiny Borgata Summer Poker Open trophy, Eilers will also receive a 16x20 framed photo of himself, taken by professional photographer Eric Harkins of Image Masters.

Event 2: 2nd Place - Tabb
$350 + $50 + $100 Black Chip Bounty NLH (Re-Entry)
Steven Tabb is a professional poker player with over $435,000 in lifetime tournament earnings. This is his highest reported finish in a Borgata Open series main event. He won the Borgata Deep Stack Double Play $1,000 NLH event in February of this year, picking up over $71,000.
We'll be seeing more of him during the series as he likes the tournament structures here, but thinks this should have been a two day event. (Technically it was, since they started on Thursday and finished on Friday.)

Event 1: Power Down
$350 + 50 Deep Stack NL Hold'em (Re-Entry)
After losing the hand with kings, Chad Power only made a small knick in his chip stack, but after just doubling up Khoi Ta, he's not "back to the grind." Power had A 5 and was up against the pocket sevens of Ta. The board ran clean for Ta and he would double up to over 10,000,000. Power is now down below 5,000,000, and has seen somewhat of a roller coaster last few levels.

$350 + 50 Deep Stack NL Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 33 is about to begin, with blinds increasing to 100,000/200,000/30,000. Just one hand ago, we saw a massive swing in the chip lead.

Power is up to 13,000,000 while Baruch has dropped down to 2,900,000.

$350 + 50 Deep Stack NL Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Samuel Tucker (Odenton, MD)
Tucker was eliminated in 7th place (was the short stack coming back from break), but that's not what the table can't stop talking about.
