Andy Hwang Puts Natale Kuey Down

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

With his stack still well below the average, the sight of an ace in the hole was enough for Natale Kuey to make his stand, but his open-shove from the cutoff was quickly called by Andy Hwang.

Showdown:

Hwang: {A-}{J-}
Kuey: {A-}{7-}

Kuey was out-kicked and the board ran clean to send him home just short of a second final table here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open.

Amanda Musumeci just doubled up to keep herself in contention for another final table appearance here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open.

She jammed her last 132,000 into the middle holding {A-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, coming over the top of a 16,000 button raise. Her opponent didn't seem like he wanted to call, but call he did, tabling {a-Spades}{7-Spades} to find himself predictably dominated.

The final board came clean for Musumeci, rolling out {9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} to push her back from the brink.

Sporting yet another Seattle Seahawks jersey as he dives into the thick of this Borgata Winter Poker Open, Matt Affleck seems to be riding a rush on the felt just like his beloved team has on the field.

As the Seahawks prepare to square off against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl, Affleck is moving closer to claiming a title of his own here today.

Affleck just busted James Carroll - a longtime tourney pro with an impressive record who entered the day as the second-biggest stack - when his {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} prevailed over Carroll's {A-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Carroll was all in before the flop for about 110,000 and Affleck called quickly with big slick, finding himself well ahead of a dominated ace-high hand. The final board rolled out {2-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to keep Affleck out in front, and he claimed the rest of Carroll's stack to push above the average stack with the final table in sight.
