Event 4: Bazer's Dozen Bag & Tag

$450 + $50 Omaha H/L 8B

Leonardo Palermo 

Chip Leader

There's a baker's dozen left in the Omaha event, but of the 13, four unlucky players won't make the money.

Leonardo Palermo (Toms River, NJ) is the chip leader with 255k, holding nearly 1/5 of the chips in play.

"I was really aggressive," says Palermo, who has 27 career Borgata cashes, "once I picked up chips I was very aggressive and ran good."

Day 2 resumes at Noon with the money bubble looming as nine spots are paid. The average stack is 92k (4 big bets) with limits going to 12k/24k.

"I'm going to win this for my son, Lucky" says Palermo, who was born eight weeks ago and named Leonardo Lucky Palermo.
