Champ: Aglialoro Keeps Climbing

$2,500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Zulauf & Aglialoro

John Aglialoro (Haddonfield, NJ) has nearly doubled his stack, again.  After going from 30k to 60k, he's now the chip leader with 115k, after he knocks out a player with set over set.

"A little early don't you think," he says, with a serious tone.

But it's never too early in the Borgata Summer Poker Open Championship Event when you're talking about a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool and a $3,000 bonus for the end of night chip leader.

Aglialoro is no stranger to Borgata or deep runs in big events.  He has nearly $900,000 in career tournament earnings which includes a WSOP Main Event final table in 1994, a 7th place finish to Champion Russ Hamilton.

 Kevin Zulauf (Atlantic City, NJ) has the unenviable seat to Aglialoro's immediate right.
