Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Tab Duchateau just announced that there are 252 entries thus far on Day 1b of the 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open. That means we are just a few dozen entries away from the guarantee, and right now the late registration line is snaking out of the Poker Room.

Among the players just sitting down for the first time is World Poker Tour Raw Deal host Tony Dunst.

Zinno Turns a Straight

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Anthony Zinno, winner of the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open, led out for 5,100 on a board of {8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. A player on his left called, a second player moved all in for 29,350, and Zinno re-shoved for a little more.

The player to Zinno's direct left tanked for a considerable amount of time before folding.

Zinno: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The river was the {4-Spades}, and the player was eliminated.

The player who folded was upset at the sight of the other two players' cards, and Zinno piped up.

"That's why I shoved," he said. "I know you had a small flush."

Some Late Arrivals and Re-entries

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

A few players have gone busto recently including James Woods, Andy Frankenberger, and Corrie Wunstel. Frankenberger and Wunstel have already re-entered and while there is no sign of Woods taking a new seat yet it wouldn't be surprising if he did.

Also taking there seats recently are Tony Dunst and Melissa Burr. Players have until the end of the dinner break to register, which is approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes from now.
