Jeremy Kottler raised to 3,600 in early position, Chris Tryba called in the cutoff, Loni Harwood called on the button, and Dave Inselberg came along for the ride in the big blind.
The dealer fanned all diamonds - - and Inselberg checked. Kottler continued for 7,100, only Harwood called, and the turn was a repeat nine - the . Kottler checked, Harwood fired out 15,400, and Kottler folded.
Yesterday we met Harry Kaczka and found out that he prefers the name "Harry Banana," - with his online handle "ugotabanana" too good to abandon even in the wake of Black Friday.
Mr. Banana is still contending for the WPT World Championship here today, chipping up a bit after a recent clash with Andy Frankenberger.
Kaczka opened to 3,300 from under the gun and an unidentified player flatted in middle position, with Frankenberger doing the same in defense of his big blind. The flop rained down and all three players checked, but after Frankenberger tapped the table on the turn, Harry Banana took the pot down with a 6,300 wager. Both players still have some work to do though if they hope to run their stacks back up to the average and beyond.
Jon Aguiar got the last of his stack in before the flop holding , but as is usually the case when another player calls you down with that hand, he was dominated by Chris Klodnicki's .
The flop came down and Aguiar called out for another three to drop for the chop, but he failed to catch up on the turn () or river ().
Anthony Zinno was down to his last 6,900 and moved all in. Phil Hellmuth re-raised to 35,000 to isolate and they were heads up. Zinno had and Hellmuth .
"I like this spot," said Zinno, as he held the dominating hand.
The flop came and Zinno changed his tune... "not any more."
The turn was the and the river was the and the winner of the 2013 World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open event was eliminated.
Blake Bohn put in a raise from the hijack, Paul Volpe three-bet to 9,500 out of the cutoff, and the action folded back to Bohn who called.
The flop fell , Bohn check-called a bet of 7,200, and the turn was the . Bohn checked once more, Volpe fired out 14,500, and Bohn check-raised to 40,000.
Volpe consider the bet for 90 seconds or so, then folded.

We missed the action on this hand, but found Nick Schulman doubling up in a major way after flopping the nuts.
Schulman's connected perfectly with the flop. His opponent held and found top pair, and he improved to top two on the turn. The money went into the middle after that and Schulman's straight dodged four outs to sent a huge pot his way.
