Event 1: A.J. Soprano Busted by AK

$500 + $60 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Level 8: 300/600/75 ante

(l-r) Leban, Gagliardi & Iler

Actor Robert Iler (New York, NY), who is best known for portraying A.J. Soprano on HBO's The Sporanos, gets whacked while holding pocket 10s.

Iler, who is a frequent Borgata player, ends up all in for 18k after a plethora of preflop action. His pocket pair doesn't hold against the AK of Joana Leban (New York, NY) who turns an Ace and hits a King on the river.

"I had no idea," says Frank Gagliardi (Vineland, NJ) who was next to Iler.  "He was a nice guy and told me 'nice hand,' a couple of times."

Iler did a good job of concealing his identity and Leban says Iler replied, "I get that a lot," when one player said he resembled the tv character.  "I knew it was him," says Leban, "but I wasn't going to say anything."

After the hand, Iler make a quick exit, but didn't request a re-entry ticket.  Leban is one of the bigger stacks in the Signature Room and is up to 95k.
