Championship: Wexler Bags Day 1B Bonus
$2,500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH (Re-Entry)
Day 2 Resumes 12 pm (Blinds 500/1k/100 ante)
Jonas Wexler (Southampton, PA) spiked a two-outer to pick up a 180k chip pot that propelled him to the Day 1B chip lead of the Borgata Fall Poker Open and the $3,000 bonus.
"I wasn't 4-betting Ace-King and folding," said Wexler who bagged 222k, but in the pivotal hand needed help against his opponent's pocket Kings.
"He tanked for like five minutes and turned over Kings, I couldn't believe they were staring at me," said Wexler who's a Borgata regular with more than $500,000 in career tournament earnings. "He was on the clock and at the last second, called."
Wexler was drawing thin after Natale Kuey (New York, NY), who called the initial bet, said he folded Ace-King. Wexler hit an Ace on the turn and eliminated his opponent who had nearly 90k.
Second in chips was Anthony Bellino (Palm Beach Garden, FL) whose 203,200 earned him a $1,500 bonus.
Unofficially 215 players finished Day 1B and with 72 finishing Day 1A, the Day 2 returning count is ~287.
Arthur Pro (Dallas, TX) is the overall chip leader with 252k, while Wexler is second.
Play resumes noon Tuesday with the average stack at 65k (65 bb) and blinds going to 500/1k/100 ante.
There were approximately 624 entries which means the top 63 players cash. The official prize pool and payouts will be released Tuesday.

Championship: Jonas Jumps to top of Chip Counts
$2,500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH (Re-Entry)
Level 10: Blinds 400/800/100 ante
There's a huge hand on Table 3 that may have a direct impact on the end of night chip bonuses.
On the last hand of the prior level, Jonas Wexler (Southampton, PA) raises to 1,700 and gets a call from Natale Kuey (New York, NY). A third player 3-bets to 5k, before Wexler comes over the top to 14,500.
Kuey folds and the remaining player makes it 30k before Wexler moves all in for 90k effective stacks.
The player goes deep in the tank and tries every trick in the book to get a read on Wexler. The player exposes KK on the table and is put on the clock.
The player eventually makes the call and Wexler is in deep trouble with AK. But an Ace hits the turn and Wexler wins the 180k chip pot to take his stack to near 200k. Incidentally, Kuey says he folded AK.
"When I saw that (Kings), I was hoping he'd (Floor Manager) count faster."
Wexler is now in the running for the end of night bonuses that go to the chip leader ($3,000) and second in chips ($1,500).

Level 9: Blinds 300/600/75 ante
Players are back from dinner and Will Tonking (Flemington, NJ) is the mystery player who bagged a 150k pot on the last hand before the break.
On a T 9 7 flop, Tonking says the betting is as follows:

Tournament Director Tab Duchateau just announced 432 players for Day 1B, which puts the Championship Event at more than 600 players, paying 63 spots.
We'll be grabbing big stack chip counts on break and it looks like the Poker Room table of John D'Agostino and Alex Rocha will have some healthy stacks. Another player climbing the chip counts is Jonathan Rivera (Puerto Rico), who is up to 125k.

Championship: Wicker Gets Max Value with Ace-high
$2,500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH (Re-Entry)
Level 8: Blinds 250/500/50 ante
Day 1B is split between two rooms with Media Row in the Signature Room. Across the hall in the Poker Room we pick up the action between Jeff Wicker (Philadelphia, PA) and Max Rozenfeld (New York, NY) on the river.
With the board showing 8♥ 4♣ 2♠ J♠ 6♦, Rozenfeld bets 4k into the pot and Wicker eventually tank-calls.
"King high," says Rozenfeld who mucks when Wicker turns over Ace-high.
Wicker is up to 25k and would've been down to less than 10k had he lost the hand. Rozenfeld is comfortable at 80k.
Rozenfeld has two Borgata trophies, including a win in September's kickoff event of nearly 4,500 entries for $363,000. Wicker finished third this series in Event 10 ($660 entry) for $12,000 to push his career earnings past $100,000.

On the turn with a board of J♣8♥3♣5♥ and about 24k in the pot, Ari Engel bet 12,200. Norberto Camacho jammed, having Ari covered.
Ari Engel in the tank
Ari tanked for a few minutes, asking "did you flop a set on me?". He eventually called, showing pocket Queens. Norberto was drawing with 6♣4♣ (open-ended straight-draw and flush draw).
River was the K♣ completing the flush for Norberto. He took the pot and Ari took a re-entry ticket.
