The floor staff is ready and the chip bags are being unpacked as the players for Events #9 and #10 prepare their final journey to our next two trophies. Today will see winners crowned in the $500 + $60 No Limit Hold'em 6-handed and the $350 + $50 Limit Hold'em tournaments.
The 6-handed tournament will begin with the remaining 18 players in Level 14 with blinds at 2,000-4,000 and 400 ante. David Jones is your leader going into Day 2 with just under 400,000 chips and Mike Borchetta is the short stack. Average chip stack is around 145,000.
The Limit tournament action came a grinding halt late in the evening with the players still 9 from the money. 27 return with the top 18 players getting paid. Hung Nguyen and Marc Lunenfeld lead the field and Charles Threadgould (6,000 in chips) has his work cut out for him. They will also start in Level 14 at the 2,000-4,000 limit (1,000-2,000 blinds). Average chip stack is around 37,000.

EVENT #8 - TAEMEE FEUER WINS IT ALL
It took awhile to break everything down from 3 handed to a winner but we have our newest champion.
With the blinds catching up to everyone, there was very little post flop action and even fewer flops. Taemee Feuer was sitting with around 50% of the chips in play and Trevor "Tremomey" Savage was her first victim when Feuer called his all-in. Savage holding AJ was far behind Feuer's AK and never caught up. He will hit the cage for $36,231 and a 3rd place finish.
With an even more commanding lead, she quickly took out second place finisher David S. by beating his Q2 with J9 to take home the Event #8 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em Championship for her first major tournament cash.
David S. will take home $66,619 for second place. Taemee Feuer earns a nice payday with $108,367 and the 2009 Borgata Poker Open trophy for Event #8 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em Championship.
Final table finish:
1st - Tamemee Feuer
2nd - David S
3rd - Trever "Tremomey" Savage
4th - Blake Buffington
5th - Randy Cherkas
6th - Jason Turner
7th - Frank Bellino
8th - Mark Guthridge
9th - Tony Ruberto
10th - Eugene Gorelik
Trevor "Tremomey" Savage finished 3rd in Event #8

EVENT #8 - BLAKE BUFFINGTON ELIMINATED IN 4TH
And then there were three.
The blinds are starting to catch up to the stacks after more the 28 hours of play. Trevor "Tremomey" Savage has been very quiet over the last few levels and went all-in preflop and was called by Blake Buffington. Buffington was at risk but ahead with his KT versus the T9 of Savage.
The flop gave Savage an open ended straight draw which got there on the river. Blake Buffington takes home $31,556 for 4th place.

EVENT #8 - RANDY CHERKAS ELIMINATED IN 5TH
Taemee Feuer has just taken down a huge pot at the expense of Randy Cherkas. After some confusion preflop when David Shrewsbury inadvertently string bet on button after raise after Cherkas limped. Feuer called from the big blind and Cherkas after. The flop came out 8c 7c 7s. Feuer was the first to act and announce all-in, Cherkas called and Shrewsbury went in the tank. He eventually folded QQ face up.
Feuer tabled Jc 9c for the gutshot and flush draw, Cherkas was holding T9 offsuit for the open ended straight draw. It was a blank on the turn and the Ten on the river gave Feuer the straight and now over 11,000,000 in chips.
Randy Cherkas will cash out $26,881 for 5th place.

EVENT #8 - JASON TURNER ELIMINATED IN 6TH
Friends of Jason Turner who are following his progress online can now go to bed. After a great run through the tournament he is now headed to the cage. With big action preflop, he got his QQ in bad against David Shrewsbury's KK. The king on the flop did him no favors and running queens were not in his future.
After playing well throughout, Turner will take home $22,206 for 6th place.

EVENT #8 - FRANK BELLINO ELIMINATED IN 7TH
It took awhile for the first person to get knocked out on the final table but they are moving now. While I was typing the previous post about there was a huge noise from the final table across the room. Riggstad came over rubbing and shaking his head.
After all the preflop action was done, Randy Cherkas had Frank Bellino all-in preflop. A "classic" race as they say with Cherkas QQ versus Bellino's AK. The flop came up gold for Bellino in K 5 T. The turn card A gave Bellino aces up but more outs for Cherkas. He went the hard way and rivered a Queen for the set and win.
Bellino battled the entire day and takes home $17,531.

Just one of the those hands that happen. Jason Turner made a preflop move into Mark Guthridge who pushed all-in over the top. It wasn't that much more to call but Turner had two live cards with T6 against Guthridge and his A9. Turner flopped an open ender with 8 9 J and got there with the turn card Q.
Guthridge will take home $12,856.

SHUT IT DOWN (EVENT #10 - LIMIT)
1-2 PunchRiccobono (left) & Lunenfeld
Limit players are limiting they're play tonight and shutting it down with 27 left. The players had the option to continue playing until they hit the money at 18, but the decision wasn't unanimous, so it's time to bag and tag.
"This sucks," says one player, "one guy over there only has a couple of chips. What's he going to do, come back tomorrow for one hand and go home?"
A quick scan of the chips and there are three unofficial leaders:
Marc Lunenfeld (Virginia Beach, VA) 79,000
Al Riccobono (Ossining, NY) 72,500
Jean-Philippe Piquette (Quebec, Canada) 69,500
Lunenfeld as run well at Borgata with multiple cashes, including 1st place in Event #3 at the 2007 Summer Open.
Play resumes Tuesday at 2 PM. We'll post the official chip leaders after 9 AM.
EVENT #8 - TONY RUBERTO ELIMINATED IN 9TH
It didn't take long for more action to knock another player out. A preflop raise from Randy Cherkas followed by an all-in shove by Tony Ruberto who had Cherkas covered. Jason Turner concerned the call before mucking and Cherkas called off his chips.
It was a battle of Cherka's 99 versus Ruberto's A9. The board ran out with no help for Ruberto and he was crippled. Turner told us that he folded 66 after Ruberto shipped in which would have seen him flop quads.
Cherkas is up around 2,600,000 after a 900,000 lose the following hand. Tony Ruberto takes home $9,350 for 9th place.

EVENT #8 - EUGENE GORELIK ELIMINATED IN 10TH
It took a while for us to lose our first player of the Event #8 final table. There have been very few flops with most pots being taken down with preflop raises or the occasional 3-bet. Trevor "Tremomey" Savage has been forcing much of the action but it's Taemee Feuer who collects the biggest pot.
Eugene Gorelik had not been making much headway and made a move for all his chips. Randy Cherkas made the call and Feuer moved in over the top putting Cherkas also at risk if he called. Cherkas folded and it where Feuer's AQ versus Gorelik's Q4. The board ran out 2 Q 2 7 5 and no help for Gorelik. He takes home $6,078 for 10th place.
Taemee Feuer moves up to 5,500,000 in chips.
