Event 1D: Fresh Fish

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

Level 5: 150/300/25 ante  

(l-r) Mahnken, Fung, Maher & Castelli

With two flights in the Poker Room and now two flights in the Signature Room, there's a lot of chaos at Borgata.  "This is like a Saturday night," says one passerby who can't believe all the action.

1D alternates are grabbing seats as fast as 1C tables are breaking, all while two different clocks are running with different blind levels; the floor supervisors are hustling to keep up.

"You don't have much to write about," jokes Jerry Maher (Warren, NJ) who is at a table with several players who are, not only on their first entry for 1D, but first entry of the four flight tournament.

Maher's a Borgata regular as is Mike Melkersen (New Market, VA), who are at the same table, and both on their first bullets. Anthony Castelli (Brooklyn, NY) and Edmond Mahnken (Brooklyn, NY) are also newbies, while Andy Fung (Queens, NY) is the veteran of the group who busted yesterday.

"I got to like Level 13, but couldn't win those 50/50 hands," says Fung.

So while there's a lot to write about, there's also too much to cover as we all brace for the storm of
entries to end.
