Event 1: Letting it All Hwang Out

With many of the game's most recognizable faces still travelling back from the recently concluded PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, today's field is largely comprised of local grinders.

Fortunately, we were able to spot a familiar face among the masses, as Andy Hwang currently sits with a double stack just four levels into the day.

You may remember Hwang as the winner of last year's WPT Borgata Winter Open Main Event, as the young pro collected more than $730,000 for his 1st place finish.

Hwang is picking up right where he left off here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open, steadily amassing a big stack early on Day 1A of this $500+$60 re-entry event.
