Two of the oldest players left in the field - Attllio Bitondo and Neville Darrell - continue to wage war with one another, apparently attempting to relive their glory days.
First, Bitondo shoved all in after Darrell bet the flop. Darrell tanked long and hard, before standing up to fold his face up and take a lap around the room to reflect.
A few minutes later, Bitondo shoved all in on a baby card board once again, forcing Darrell to flash his while laying down.
After seeing a flop of a player in the small blind led out for 7,500, only to see Neville Darrell make a huge raise to 42,000.
The bet was not an all-in wager, but it effectively committed Darrell to the pot and his opponent took the hint, laying his hand down after a brief tank.
Joe Clarkin just caught the case king to notch a huge double up late in the evening.
The final board read and Clarkin had his sitting near a soon to be doubled stack of 65,900.
One player at the table mentioned how he folded , and with Clarkin's crestfallen opponent holding , the one-out miracle had come down on the river to keep him in contention for this Borgata Spring Poker Open title.
The Broad Street Bully just took down a decent-sized pot late in the evening to move closer to yet another Atlantic City cash, as just six eliminations separate McKeehen from the money.
McKeehen played a three-handed pot after putting 5,000 in before the flop, along with Tyler Patterson and unidentified opponent holding the button. The flop came down and Patterson checked to McKeehen, who fired away with a bet of 5,000.
The button flatted and Patterson folded, bringing the to the table on fourth street. McKeehen then bet 13,000 and his opponent made the call to see the complete the board on the river.
A bet of 38,000 from McKeehen finally scared the other player out of the pot, and he dragged a pile of chips his way to move well above the current average.
According to pro Luke Edwards, Attllio Bitondo was down to a single orange T1000 chip about an hour ago, but after the older gentleman from Great Neck, New York "won eight coin flips in a row," he now has heaps to work with.
We saw Bitondo double up recently to push his stack above the average, after his held up over Stuart Gelwarg's .
The final board showed when we showed up, and although Gelwarg's hand had found a pair on the flop, and a four-flush on the turn, he failed to catch up and crack Bitondo's pocket rockets.
