Event 27: 4th Place - Piccolo

$200 + $30 Deep Stack Semi-Turbo NLH (Re-Entry)

Matthew Piccolo (Dumont, NJ)
$4,556

Borgata regular Matthew Piccolo has now cashed in every season of Borgata Poker Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall events since January 2011.

We'll call it the Piccolo Slam.

As for today's event, Piccolo had the table in stitches as usual.

He caught lucky on one hand when his 10-8 button shove was called by Tim B's big blind A-10.

Matthew caught the 8-ball on the flop and it held.

This caused Ben Geller on the rail to say, "What planet are you from kid?"

A couple rounds later Matthew shoves from the button again. Tim tanks again, this time longer. Finally he calls with Jacks.

Matthew's A-J vs. Tim's JJ.

Board: 6-3-8-9-4.

With that loss, Piccolo was down to 8,000 and got it in begging for a double gutter on the river that never hit.

Matthew Piccolo finished in 4th Place earning $4,556

Event 27: 5th Place - Goldberger

$200 + $30 Deep Stack Semi-Turbo NLH (Re-Entry)

Leo Goldberger (Brooklyn, NY)
$3,524

The dream is over for Leo Goldberger who had the final table laughing throughout the night but in the end it was Kevin "Don't Get In My" Way who did it again and had the last laugh.

Leo cuts out 500,000 into the pot pre and gets a call from Kevin Way. He says good luck to his Opponent before the flop.

Flop falls 9-2-10 (all hearts) and Leo immediately announces all-in.

Kevin quickly calls and tables A-10.

Leo shows K-K and nobody has a heart.

A ten on the turn gives Kevin trips and Leo goes out in 5th Place.

Event 27: 6th Place - Wolper

$200 + $30 Deep Stack Semi-Turbo NLH (Re-Entry)

Howard Wolper (Atlantic City, NJ)
$2,975

Extremely fitting for Groundhog's Day as the exact knock-out scenario we just witnessed happened again.

The same cards, the same winner in Kevin Way, just a different loser.

Howard Wolper had QQ and got his chips in against chipleader Kevin Way's KK.

Kings held on a board of A-8-4-10-10.

Just like that the Borgata Poker legend, Howard Wolper is out.

This certainly is Kevin's lucky day causing Matthew Piccolo to bow and call him "The Chosen One".

$200 + $30 Deep Stack Semi-Turbo NLH (Re-Entry)

$2,399

Kings held on a board of 8-7-8-6-5.

Jordon was greeted by Jack Pomeranc who also got knocked out. The two had played side by side a good amount of the day.

Meadow lost 1.2 million on the hand and regretted that he tangled with the chip leader at the table in Kevin Way.

His girlfriend gave support from the rail.

Jordon Meadow finished in 7th Place and earned $2,399.

Larry Gold was crippled when his 7-10 suited small blind 400,000 shove ran into Matthew Piccolo's AA.

Board ran 6-J-Q-Q-5

Larry was down to 12,000 and survived the next hand when his 8-9 found two pair against two other players. With that triple up, Larry waited for his spot.

$200 + $30 Deep Stack Semi-Turbo NLH (Re-Entry)

Jess At Your Service

Board ran: K-Q-6-6-Q

Bryan was a little camera shy so we posted one of Jess instead.

Final Table Preview/Day 4 Recap

$3300 + $200 Championship No Limit Hold'em   

Goldman & Dannenmann

The final table of the Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship is filled with heavy hitters as the event is just ten players from awarding the title, the trophy and the $542,771 first prize.  Marc Goldman (Easton, PA) is the chip leader with 4.2 million, while WSOP Main Event runner-up Steve Dannenmann continues to be a short stack ninja.

Goldman says that, "making this final table with these legends," is the greatest accomplishment in his poker career.  The 23 year old is currently unemployed and is an amateur player.

He'll be up against Dannenmann, who finished second to Joe Hachem in 2005, and two players who hold WSOP bracelets in Brock Parker (2) and Jeff Papola (1).  These three have combined to win $8 million in career tournament earnings.

While Parker and Papola are 4th and 5th respectfully in chips with ~2.5 million,  Dannenmann has been at the bottom of the chip counts the entire tournament. He's 9th out of 10 players with 687k and only has 13 big blinds.

Dannenamann began Day 4 26th out of 27 players and after Day 2 was 111 out of 119 remaining players.

"I had to cancel all my appointments for tomorrow," said Dannenmann who's a full time CPA. He added that poker is only a hobby and that he only plays in 15-20 big tournaments a year. 

While Dannenmann has been nursing a short stack, Goldman has enjoyed a big stack most of the tournament and holds a 1.2 million chip lead over Nick Manfredo, who's second.  Goldman had the chip lead after Day 2, was second after Day 3 and heading to the final table once again has the lead.

He got Day 4 started when he knocked out Borgata regulars Dan Buzgon (3rd, 2011 Borgata Poker Open) and Amanda Musumeci (62nd, 2011 WSOP Main Event) as a lot of familiar faces hit the rail. They included, Dave "Cold Stone" Inselberg (27th), Buzgon (24th) Charlie Townsend (23rd), Musumeci (22nd) and Brent Hanks (19th).

Also at the final table is Josh Mancuso, John Zoldak, Sam Berstein, Christian Iacobellis and Cedric Adam.  Iacobellis was 10th in the 2010 Borgata Poker Open, while Adam returns as the short stack.

Play resumes noon Friday with blinds at 25k/50k/4k ante.

Dave" Coldstone" Inselberg has had a solid BWO series with multiple cashes and big event final table experience (via the 2010 Foxwoods WPT Championship where he came in 2nd place for over $300k).

Steve Dannenmann, the 2005 WSOP Main Event runner-up, who cashed in that event for over $4.25 million

Charlie Townsend, who has had a long and successful poker career, rounds out the three remaining PPI Players, who coincidentally will all start at the same table when play resumes today.

Both Larry Gold and Matt Brady of PPI also cashed in the featured Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship event.

Early Bird Catches Two Worms

$200 + $30 Deep Stack Semi-Turbo NLH (Re-Entry)

Level 2: blinds are 50/100 (this is the Turbo portion of the tournament).

After a small raise, two players came along for a flop of Q 5 4.

All three players got their chips in the middle.  The pre-flop raiser held pocket Kings (overpair).  Another player held 54 for bottom two pair.

 Jim Follmer with his Triple-Staring-Stack

Jim Follmer (Dillsburg, PA) had Q5 for top two pair.  The last two changed nothing and Jim collected the pot, busting two players in the process.

He's up to just over 75k, triple the starting stack of 25k.  Needless to say, he's the chip leader.

Event 26 Recap

$200 + $30 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Mickael Morgousky just sent the entire final table to the morgue and emerged as the Event 26 winner to the tune of $43,363. The final six fell in rapid succession as Mickael and the boys finally got down to business.

"I liked all the guys at the final table...all were gentlemen and great players" said Morgousky.

A key hand to Mikael's victory occurred after dinner when he made a move with K-10 and found himself way behind against Opponent's K-K. After a 10 on the flop and another 10 on the river, MM went from 400,000 to 850,000 and started cruising.

This event played side by side in The Event Center next to the 2012 Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship and finished up around 5:30 AM.

The field was filled with pros and amateurs, young guns and seasoned veterans all vying for a chunk of the massive $203,200 Total Buy-In. Two pros that played and made the cash were Allen Kessler (88th / $414) and Miami John Cernuto (36th / $769). Other familiar faces included Chris Leong, Elia Ahmadian, Tony Cousineau, Cathy Dever, Adam Agaev, Steve Ryan, and Joe Boatwright.

And congratulations to the last woman standing, Borgata regular Grace Sun (Merrick, NY) who finished (25th / $887).

The full stampede of 1,016 entries kicked things off at 11AM with a big stack of 20,000. Many took advantage of the Re-entry through the first eight levels. Of course Borgata once again reached the $100,000 guarantee - in fact they doubled it!

"I fired one bullet" said our Champion, Mickael referring to his 1 re-entry bid. In addition to this $43,363 score, Mickael also took 4th Place in the 2010 Borgata Spring Poker Open Championship Event for over $85,000.

It's also Mickael's fourth cash of this series.

Off to the races.

Opponent flopped a flush and Chambers went out in 13th Place for $1,675.

Good run today John.

Event 26: Quadzilla

200 + $30 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Fred Koutishian - J J J J

"This was actually the second time I hit quads in this tournament" said Fred who nailed four Ladies earlier.

Fred didn't think he'd be playing this many hours of poker and will have to call in sick for his Public Works job later today.

Event 26: Dikker Done

$200 + $30 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

End of the night for Mark Dikker (Morganville, NJ) who played solid, patient poker all day and was able to pick his spots at the right time.

With the blinds 50,000 / 100,000 he shipped 565,000 in with K-J of spades and got two callers.

Two Opponents checked all the way down. When a king hit the river Mark was sure he was good.

Mark Dikker finished in 16th Place earning $1,084.

Event 26: Albany Poker League

$200 + $30 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Bruce Bardin & Jose Lavezzary

Unfortunately for Jose he missed everything and the player with A-6 ended up with three sixes.

Board: 6-3-J-6-7.

Bruce and Jose are poker pals back in Albany where they play for the Albany Poker League. In fact, Jose had the custom jacket to prove it.

"Four of us played today...we try to make it up to Borgata every year for this tournament" said Bruce.

Sounds like Jose is the Phil Ivey of the league.
Whenever he walks in everybody shouts "Jose" at the same time.

Bardin missed the cash by 20, finishing 120th.

Blinds are 40,000 / 80,000 with 5,000 antes.

Jeffrey Aguilar (Alexandria, VA)
$887

Jeff Aguilar is one for one during the 2012 Borgata Winter Poker Open. as far as cashes go.

It was a hit and run for the busser from Virginia. Funny thing was Aguilar emptied his entire wallet to take a shot today.

Good thing his risk paid off or he might be hitchhiking home (like a friend of his once did after busting, for real).

Jeff cleans up at a bar in VA and is used to cleaning up on the felt.

"When there were 103 left I went for a cigarette - when I got back I found out I was in the money" explained Aguilar.

Jeff was happy to fatten up his wallet again and excited with his one-day's worth of work and beating out so many other players.

1,016 total entries in this event.

Jeff finished in 22nd place earning $887.

Event 26: Lets Be Frank

$200 + $30 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Players are feeling the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat with each turn of the card.

Third player in the hand re-ships for 550,000 with A-K. UTG folds and we're ready for a showdown.

Things were not looking good for Frank when an ace hit the flop.

Then the table went wild when Frank hit runner-runner turn-river for Broadway.

Nobody could believe it, especially Frank.

With that scoop Pergola is now building a chip-wall of around a million.
