Event 5: Making Every Second Count

$600 + $60 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

As players are going on their second break of the day, Harry Korotki (Owings Mills, MD) has yet to play a hand.

"Just got here," says the former Borgata trophy winner as he takes his seat.  "Worse case scenario I would've played tomorrow."

Korotki says even with late registration closing he really didn't cut it that close. It was a matter if he would have time to check-in to the hotel, which he did.

"I checked in and I checked in," he says about getting his tournament seat.

As play resumes, Korotki, who took home $40,000 as the purple chip bounty tournament in the 2011 Borgata Fall Poker Open, has to wait one more hand.

As luck would have it, he's seated at a table between the small blind and button and has to wait one more hand before he can play.
