Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
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.
Broad Street Bully
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Joe McKeehen is a proud fan of the Philadelphia Flyers, but he seems to play his best poker in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Last January we watched McKeehen take down Event 3 of the Borgata Winter Poker Open, winning $69,808 in the process.
McKeehen also won a World Series of Poker Circuit ring in 2013 at the Caesars Atlantic City Main Event, pocketing $174,150 for his efforts there.
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.

Clark Bar
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
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.

Neville Darrell Scares 'Em Off
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
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.
