but you cashed in the Main right?

@JenShahade

Same accidental #Needle came from @The_Alex_Rocha a few days prior.  1,042 Entrants in @BorgataPoker $3,500 NL ($2M Gtd) Main Event.  $3.2M Prizepool.  $730K to first.  $6.6K bottom money.  I was in for two bullets.  They paid 100 places.  Day 3 started w/ 160 players, I came into the day w/ double an average stack, lost a pot that would've had me at triple average, then used my remaining average stack to finish 113th for $0.00.

Ah, friends like these.

Accidental 200 BB pot in #BWOmain

1200/100 lvl. @YoungOrson opens the HiJ, learns that it was not his turn. Dealer correctly killed hand of player on his right as he was not at his seat in time. UTG+1 was not given a chance to act. If he were to limp in or fold, Orson's opening raise would stand. He chooses to limp in. @JonathanLittle flats out of the sb w/ a ~200K stack. As expected by all parties involved, UTG+1 limp-raises. Orson gets out of the way. Jonathan was trapping when he flatted out of the sb, re-raises, and he and UTG+1 player end up getting it all-in pre for UTG+1's 123,700 chips. Jonathan's QQ is dead on the turn after his opponent flops top set of aces. He's left w/ a mere mortal stack of ~70K, and two hands later, our table breaks. Game's rigged, obv.

@BorgataPoker cash game legend @YoungOrson (aka Mr. @CherishAndrews) will have the button vs my big blind all day - but other than that, I like my spot.  I heard a rumor that I bagged up 5th in chips overall from the 567 players returning for Day 2 (out of 1,042 Entrants).

We come back to 300/600 blinds w/ a 75 ante, 75 minute levels.  Play until around midnight.  At the end of the day, we'll still not yet be in-the-money.  100 places paid, $730,000 to first place.

Average Chip Stack:  55,000

T37 | S01 -   MARK WAHBA (CLEVELAND, OH):  75,400 T37 | S02 -   ELAN BRANAS (FOREST HILLS, NY):  59,550 T37 | S03 -   ORSON YOUNG (OCEANPORT, NJ):  70,650 T37 | S04 -   BRIAN NETTLES (DEER PARK, NY):  38,950 T37 | S05 -   TRAVIS WILLIAMS (READING, PA):  155,575 T37 | S06 -   ERLANI ANGLERO (WHITE PLAINS, NY):  54,650 T37 | S07 -   NEVILLE DARRELL (SARASOTA, FL):  15,600 T37 | S08 -   ANTHONY COUSINEAU (DAYTONA BCH, FL):  54,000 T37 | S09 -   YURY PARAD (CHICAGO, IL):  56,475

1,042 Entrants, paying 100 players. $730,000 to 1st. Bagged up about a triple average stack on Day 1B. Come back to 300/600 Blinds (w/ a 75 ante), sitting on 155,575 chips. I never would be here playing this huge tournament if not for the support of my friends. Thank you all so much. We still won't even be in the money after tomorrow, that'll come some time Wednesday afternoon. Play down to 27 on Weds, down to six on Thurs. Can't wait.

It took a little longer than I expected, but we’ve reached 1,000 players so far.

@TabDuchateau, @BorgataPoker Tournament Director re: 2013 Winter Open Event 21: $3,500 NL ($2M Guaranteed Prize Pool). That’s over $3,201,000.00 in the prize pool, kids
