Event 6 Day 1C: Alex Borukhovich Doubles b1a5u

Prize Pool:  $316,500  |  Structure
Level 8:  400/800 with a 800 ante
Day 1C Entries:  82

Alex Borukhovich stacks his newly collected chips

With about 10,000 in a three-way pot and the board reading 9s9c5cQh, one player checked, another bet 4,000 and Alex Borukhovich moved all in for 34,200. The first player folded and his other opponent called with a big hand.

Borukhovich: QcTc
Opponent: 9h6h

Borukhovich had two pair queens and nines with a club draw but only ten outs on the river against his opponent’s trip nines. He got there on the Kc river for a king-high flush and grabbed a nice double.

Alex Borukhovich – 78,400 (98 bb)

Felipe Luyanda once again holds a big stack in one of those events, he was the chip leader for much of Day 2 of Event 1 and finished second. He leads now with 163,000 and Brian Becker is the closest with 129,300.

Becker picked up most of his chips when his AdKd made a flush against an opponent’s ace-king off.

We have a great group in the Poker Room, working their way through a fun field trying to find a Day 2 bag. The prize pool is already over the $300,000 guarantee and we wonder how high our players can make it.

We have plenty of our regular friends in the field including our all-time wins leader Raminder Singh, Neil Blumenfield, Jason Wandling, Dmitry Savelyev, John King, Matt Kuba, and Solange Lucas.

There wasn’t much drama about whether the $1,700 Deepest Stack would reach its $300,000. Great turnouts in the first two flights meant it was a virtual lock coming into a busy Saturday of action.

From now until we close registration at 11 am tomorrow, the prize pool will continue to climb with each new entry.
