Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Andrew Klein - 11th Place

Andrew Klein was racing for his tournament life with two over cards - {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} - against Steve Raimie's wired pair of {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

Klein failed to improve on the flop ({10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}), turn ({10-Diamonds}), or the river ({7-Clubs}), and was eliminated in 11th place.

The remaining 10 players are now forming the final table, and we will bring you a redraw shortly.

We've spotted a few familiar faces in the Borgata Poker Room, including Damon Ferrante - the subject of Local Spotlight series back in January.

Jimmy "Bagels" Lillis is also here, looking for another win after he captured the title in Event 9 earlier this week.

Paul Spitzberg is in the building as well, hoping to reach his second final table of the series, after registering a 6th place finish in the $2,700 buy-in Championship event.

Another player who is no stranger to final tables is here in Shawn Cunix - winner of the 2012 WPT Jacksonville BestBet Open.

Event 15 Set to Begin

Borgata Spring Poker Open
Borgata Spring Poker Open

While the $15,000 WPT World Championship continues over in the Signature Room in Borgata, there are still three side events to go in the 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open. The first starts today, and it is a $300 buy-in no-limit hold'em event with a $75,000 guarantee.

This one-day event features 30-minute blind levels and 25,000-chip starting stacks. There will be a 15-minute break every three levels, and a 60-minute dinner break at the tournament staff's digression.

PokerNews will be bringing you updates for this event until a winner is crowned. Our focus will mainly be on the WPT World Championship, but we will certainly provide updates throughout the day, and after the players bag-and-tag in Event 14, our focus will shift entirely to Event 15.

The cards will be in the air in 30 minutes. See you then!
