It is not often that you see high heeled shoes in the poker room, but Robert Calabrese (Flushing, NY) uses one as his card protector.
Apparently it reminds him of his girlfriend, who doesn't play poker. He also says he doesn't run well against women poker players and hopes this will bring him luck.
He got his last chips in good today with AT, getting action from a non-female player holding KJ. A Jack on the river ended Robert's run in 58th place. Maybe next time.

Event 12: Montes Doubles
$260 + $40 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
Jose Montes (Bronx, NY) registered late, squeaking in under wire before registration closed. By the dinner break, he had run his 25k starting stack up to ~210k.
Since then, he's been going the wrong way. He just open-shoved and had another player move in over the top, causing a third player to fold pocket 9s.
Jose had AT suited and was in bad shape against pocket Tens. Then the board came A 5 3 4 3 and Jose took the pot, doubling up to ~270k (if the third player had come in, he would have tripled up).
Jose went on a tear here during the 2011 Summer Open, winning the $400 Six Max No Limit event (over $14k) and finishing 2nd in the $200 Deep Stack No Limit event (over $13k).

Event 12: Buzz Saw Back at Borgata
$260 + $40 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
Ed Grau (Baltimore, MD) loves these $100,000 guaranteed tournaments.
In the inaugural 2011 Fall Poker Open version, Grau was nicknamed the "Human Buzz Saw" on his way to the title as he outlasted 963 entries. The $42,000 payday is still his only cash in his career.
Fast forward to today's tournament and Grau has chipped his way all the way up to second overall with 537k. "No real big hands," says Grau who's getting support on the rail from Rebecca Tadros, also from Baltimore.
Grau says slow playing a set of 10s got him an 80k pot and the only other notable hands have been pocket jacks which have held up three times. He adds, "we've had them here ten times today and they've held every time."
Grau is the lone survivor of table 3 and only trails Alex Beleson (Manalapan, NJ) who's been a big stack all day and currently has 548k.
If Grau's going to go deep again he'll have to navigate a field of 747 entries as he tries for the $44,295 top prize.
The players are currently on a one hour dinner break.

Event 12: Tales from the Re-Entry Line
$260 + $40 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
Victor Paulino (Boston, MA) is a little shy to share his bustout hand while standing in the re-entry line, but then reconsidered, "you inspired me to win it," he says.
With level 8 (400/800/75 ante) winding down, Paulino shipped 8k with K 3 offsuit and "didn't even get a sweat," against A8.
Others in the re-entry line include:
Taisiya Kuznetsova (New York, NY), who waited in line, played a few hands (5 minutes of poker) and now is back in line after losing with pocket fives vs K 10.
Bob Teti (Washington Twp., NJ) lost with top pair, worse kicker, to the same player for the third time.
Harry Korotki (Owings Mills, MD) busted for the second day in a row with AQ against a player who
boated on the river.
Players who join the field now get a fresh 25k stack with blinds at 500/1k/100 ante and levels increase to 30 minutes long.

Event 12: Neiman with the Nuts
$260 + $40 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
Phil Neiman (Flushing, NY) can't believe his luck on the first hand he's dealt in the tournament. He plays 7 9 from the big blind and after a check-check on the flop and small bet on the turn, Neiman hits his gin card on the river for the nut straight.
"I over bet the pot for 5k," he says, "the guy moves all in and I had to do a double take to make sure I didn't miss something. I said okay, 'sorry buddy,' I have the nuts'."
A clearly frustrated opponent tables pocket aces for a flopped set and is surprised that the 6 8 10 board sends him straight to the rail.
Neiman is up to 42k as players are heading to their first break of the day.

Event 10 Recap
$350 + $50 Six-Max Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
Paul Vacchio (Inwood, NY) claimed his first tournament win in the early hours of Wednesday morning, besting a field of 231 players after more than 18 hours of play. He'll take home $20,786 and the shiny Borgata Summer Open trophy.
It almost ended for Vacchio in 5th place. On the turn with a board of A T 6 7, he was all-in and at risk holding AT (top two pair) against an opponent with 98 for the straight. A four-outer Ace on the river gave Vacchio Aces-full and the double-up to survive and that key hand propelled him to victory.
The runner-up was Jason 'Gorilla Fish' Evans (Bronx, NY) who earned $12,353 for finishing second. Evans is an IT consultant and doesn't get to play a lot of tournaments, but plans to start playing more.
231 entries generated total buy-ins of $80,850. The final 24 players earned a piece of the prize pool. Lots of Borgata regulars turned out for this Six Max event, but didn't cash, including: James Boyle, Ted Geier, Dan Spirer, Eric Miller, Cathy Dever, Barbara Rogers, Rob Saladin, Stephanie Hubbard
and Ben Geller.

Event 10: 1st Place - Vacchio
$350 + $50 Six-Max Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
On the final hand, Paul Vacchio came from behind, catching a pair on the river to claim the pot and the win. This is Paul's second cash in a Borgata Open Series. He finished 8th in the Spring $400 No Limit Deep Stack Semi Turbo event, good for $1,711.
Tonight's first place finish is good for $20,786. He now considers himself a semi-professional poker player and will be playing more during the Summer Open, but isn't sure what his next event will be.
Paul was glad to have these friends on the rail, rooting him on the finish and wanted to say Thanks to Leanne Rosenblatt, Daniel Chan, Ben Geller, & Magookie.

Jason 'Gorilla Fish' Evans got his last chips in ahead with QJ suited. Paul Vacchio looked him up with 75 suited.
The board ran out A K 3 K 5 and Paul paired up on the river to claim the pot and the tournament. Jason will settle for second place and $12,353.
Evans, who makes his living as an IT consultant, doesn't get to play in many tournaments, so tonight's 2nd place finish makes an excellent first-ever reported tournament score.

Event 7 Recap
$350 + $50 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
After two long days of play, Jordan Ludwick conquered the $350 + $50 Deep Stack Double Play NLH event, earning himself $58,443. He was supposed to start his job working in a restaurant this week, but instead came here for the Borgata Summer Poker Open. Now he's rethinking his career choice.
Aleksandr Rapoport (Brooklyn, NY) was the runner-up in the event. He started day two 53rd of 130 returning players and managed to hang on all the way to second place. He'll pick up $34,008, his first-ever reported tournament cash.
The most accomplished of the final three was Ben Butler, who came to the final table with a dominating chip lead. Butler finished 3rd in the $350 No Limit event in the 2010 Borgata Poker Open, good for over $26,000.
Butler's luck turned when Ludwick flopped a flush against his pocket 3s and got all-in. Ludwick doubled up and despite battling back several times, Butler couldn't overcome the chip deficit. He earned $20,782 for his third place finish.
Over two starting days, a total of 742 entries were made, generating total buy-ins of $259,700. The final 72 players earned a piece of the prize pool.
46 players survived play on day 1A and they were combined with 84 survivors on day 1B, making a total of 130 players returning for day two.
Start of day two chip leader Gregory Shvarts (Brooklyn, NY) made the final table, eventually busting in 5th place for $13,855.
2006 WSOP Circuit Champion Rick Rossetti (Ventnor, NJ) also made the final table, finishing 7th ($9,069) when he lost a race with AQ against pocket 9s, after his pocket Queens took a bad beat from pocket 8s.
Many Borgata tournament regulars cashed in this event, including 3-time Borgata Open titleist Howard Wolper (Atlantic City, NJ) who finished 66th for $731.
Jordan Ludwick recalls a hand early on day one when his pocket Aces held up against Borgata regular James Boyle's pocket Kings. That early hand helped propel him to then end of day one. After the key hand where he flopped a flush against Ben Butler at the final table, he knew he was going to win. He went to the rail and told his friend "I'm going to win it all". And he did.

Event 11 Recap
$260 + $40 Seniors No Limit Hold'em
God Save the Queen is the National anthem of the United Kingdom, but in the Seniors tournament, it's the Q♠ that saves the day for Sonny DeVivo (Binghamton, NY).
DeVivo was all in and at risk against Nissim Chabi (Brooklyn, NY) who had two pairs on the turn, but the river queen counterfeited Chabi and gave DeVivo a 1.2 million chip side pot that propelled him to the win.
"When I saw the nine I thought it was over," said DeVivo, who held K 10, and was in bad shape when Chabi hit two pairs with K 9. But on the final board of K Q 6 9 Q, both players had two pairs, kings and queens, with DeVivo's ten kicker making the best hand.
"When I saw the queen I smiled again," said DeVivo who's 68-years-old and earned $13,241 for the win.
"I thought I had the best kicker," explained Chabi when he moved all in for more than 700k into a 60k pot. He had DeVivo covered and was still alive after he shipped 664 across the table.
"You know how it is," said Chabi a retired businessman, "It comes and goes."
The main pot was chopped between DeVivo and Ray Snoots (Leonard Town, MD), who also held K 10, but Snoots had been a short stack for most of the final table and eventually was eliminated in 6th place.
After the biggest hand of the tournament the final eliminations went very quickly with Jeff Rothberg (Scarsdale, NY) and Jay Bovasso (Long Branch, NJ) going out in 5th and 4th places respectively.
Then it was Rick Frumkin (Hazleton, PA) who finished just behind Chabi and DeVivo for third place.
The day began with 175 Seniors who put up a total buy-in of $45,500. The field featured Borgata regulars Don Brown, Nancy Martin, Bob Santilli and Fritz Stoner, but none of them made the money.
Notables who did cash included last woman standing Martha Patella (18th), Dan Spirer (16th) and Tony Campagna (8th).
DeVivo, a car dealer, said he's only been playing for two years and this is by far the biggest poker achievement thanks to a little lady luck.
