Jackie Liu
Jackie Liu

Nan Min got her lasts chips in on the flop with a board reading {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}, but her {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts} (middle pair) was beat by her opponent's {q-Clubs}{4-Spades} (top pair). When running sevens completed the board, she was eliminated.

Jump to the next table over and Jackie Liu was all-in pre-flop, but got no takers and survived to continue play.

A new player joining them, near the top of the counts, is Bob Christensen, playing ~375,000.

Spagnuolo Still Around

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Marguerite Spagnuolo
Marguerite Spagnuolo

Marguerite Spagnuolo was down to only 6,000 chips before registration closed and said she was "trying to bust out, but they wouldn't let" her.

She's managed to grind that 6,000 up to about 95,000 and is still hanging around as tables are breaking down quickly.

The entrepreneur and creator of "Grandmas 2 Share" is a regular on the felt here at Borgata, although her business keeps her away more and more. She has two Ladies event titles on her poker resume, one from Borgata and one from the WSOP Circuit.
