A total of 807 runners packed the house tonight, and Todd Rebello bagged up the top stack with 229,825. Closely trailing him was Rob Boyko with 209,500. Rebello will come back to Day 2 trailing only Laz Hernandez, who bagged more than 258,000 on Day 1a. As a reward for their chip accumulation, Rebello and Boyko pocketed $5,000 and $3,000, respectively.

Other notable stacks: Mike Linster (160,225), Todd Terry (98,550), Isaac baron (95,975), Eric Baldwin (93,850), Blake Bohn (86,825), Faraz Jaka (82,200), and Jeff Madsen (79,650).

Players swinging and missing today included Vanessa Selbst, Chino Rheem, Ryan Eriquezzo, Jonathan Tamayo, Jon Little, Phil Collins, and Bryn Kenney.

After 422 entrants paid up the $3,500 to register the main event yesterday here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open, and nearly double that amount ponied up the cash today. That brought the total entries to 1,229, creating a first-place prize of $842,379, more than $100,000 better than last year's $730,053 pocketed by Andy Hwang.

Players will return at noon tomorrow to fight for their share of the prize pool, and PokerNews will be on the scene.
