Bruce Yamron, in the small blind, just found himself all-in for his last few chips against two opponents, who were looking at a board of . One player bet and got called, showing pocket Tens for an overpair to the board. His opponent mucked and Bruce followed suit, pushing his cards in and getting up to leave.

Bruce lives in Naples, FL, which was just hit pretty hard by Hurricane Irma, while he has been here at Borgata. All our thoughts are with the people who were devastated by this second massive storm in just a couple of weeks.

Josias Santos is close to becoming the first player to breach the 1,000,000 chip barrier as the Event 8 field near the money.

The Event 8 field is just under one table from reaching the money bubble as the first break of the day nears. This fast-paced event never fails to be full of action and even after the 72 ITM players earn themselves at least $613, there will continue to be an abundance of all-ins.

The first player to hit 1,000,000 should be arriving soon and the current favorite to hit that milestone is Josias Santos. Santos started play with 471,000 and is approaching the 900,000 mark. A cash today is all but a formality for Santos and he has his eye set on a much larger prize.

At the conclusion of Level 21, the field will be on a short break with the bubble to follow right after. A look at the current leaderboard is below.

Josias Santos – 850,000
Jon Borenstein – 760,000
Ephraim Uzan – 755,000
Travis Decker – 720,000
Justin Finberg – 670,000

Don Fisher finished 2nd in this event last year, out of 2,858 entries, to earn more than $109,000. That remains Don’s best live cash and half of this total reported live earnings of just under $219,000.

It’s also the closest Don has come to a win here at Borgata and to do better this year he’s going to have to go all the way.

Alex Rocha is utilizing the “interview run good” and is playing triple the 180,000 he started Day 2 with.

Poker table fashion will never go out of style and there are quite a few players who stand out more than most for the gear they bring to the felt. Alex Rocha occasionally dons a scarf or a fun hat and that separates him from some of his competitors. Rocha is donning a Super Mario lid today as he plays on Day 2 of the Deepest Stack event along with a pair of sunglasses that harken back to a few decades ago.

We caught up Rocha before the start of Day 2 to ask him about his recent trip to Barcelona and the story behind his glasses as he attempts to better his 24th place finish in this event from January.

Almighty Stack players are back from their break and the green 25 chips have been colored up and removed from play.

Michael Newman has already tripled his starting stack.

Before the break, Michael Newman took out two players and is up to triple his starting stack.

As he tells it, he was holding T8 on a board of J 9 5 Q for the straight and one of his opponents had J9 for two pair. The other had a gutshot and both whiffed the river. Now Michael’s stacking about 300,000 (375 big blinds).

Michael is originally from New York, but now lives in Florida. He’s recorded ten tournament wins in Hollywood, FL, but is glad to be back up north this week.

Justin Finberg lightened the Event 8 field by one with less than 30 players to go before the money bubble hits.

In under two levels of play, the Deepest Stack event has broken four tables as the field dwindles to 100. Only 28 players are left to exit before the 72-player money bubble hits and Justin Finberg recently busted a player to speed along that process as well as boost his stack.

Level 4: Blinds 300/600/75 ante

Charlie Boncich, aka Charlie Poker, was looking at a board of and called all-in after the player on his left shoved. Charlie’s (top two pair) had been beat on the turn by his opponent’s (turned straight).

The river delivered a 4-outer , giving Charlie a full house and the pot. The stacks were close and had to be counted down, but Charlie had his opponent covered.

Before he walked away, the unlucky player unleashed a barrage of invective at Charlie, who took it all in stride as he collected and stacked his newly-won chips. He’s now up to about 225,000.

The Borgata Poker Open is chugging toward the World Poker Tour Main Event in the second week of events here. It is a common decision among some players to not jump into action until midway through a BPO series and two players familiar with the Borgata championship stage are looking to use today’s Event 8 Day 2 for the bigger buy-ins to come.

Travis Hartshorn earned his first piece of BPO glory and over $300,000 for winning the 2016 Fall Poker Open Main Event. That win capped off a breakout year for Hartshorn, who made $474,000 in his first year of tournament poker. Hartshorn has put together a few deep runs this year, including a 15th place finish in the Spring Poker Open Main Event and is awaiting his first title of 2017.

Rafael Yaraliyev made a name for himself in January 2016 after coming in second in the WPT Main Event for $487,000. Proving himself as not a one-hit wonder, Yaraliyev made a WSOP final table later that year and has been a player in most BPO series since. Still yet to win his first BPO title, Yaraliyev is in the hunt for first place victory today.
