Platis Arrives and Takes His Seat
Level 6
: 300/500, 500 ante
Nikolaos Platis arrived just a short while ago, taking his seat amid the relatively small field of Flight A. In only four years on the poker scene, the young Niko has booked more than $160,000 in tournament earnings, a large chunk of which came from the 2018 World Series of Poker Main Event. He finished 57th out of 7,874 runners to take home $57,010.
He claimed his first major title and a WSOP Circuit ring back in March of this year when he won the $400 NLH Monster Stack NLH event at Harrah's for $22,732.
His best finish here at Borgata came during this year's Spring Poker Open, when he finished 6th out of 1,659 entrants in the Almighty Stack NLH event for more than $27,000.

Marder Rivers the Nuts
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Three players were looking at the turn with a board of 
and it was checked to Michael Marder on the button, who tossed in two blue chips (10,000). The big blind in Seat 4 called, then Seat 8 tanked for a bit before folding.
They were heads-up to the river, which was the 
and Seat 4 jammed for 7,700. Michael snap-called, having him covered, but not by much. The hands were tabled and Seat 4's 
had missed the open-ended straight-flush draw, but rivered a straight. Michael's 
had missed his flush draw as well, but caught the gutterball to river the nut straight.
Seat 4 headed for the exit while Michael collected his chips — he's up to 52,500 and more than double his starting stack.
