Anna Khait just passed by on her way to the cash game area, but she was kind enough to inform us that a straight draw/flush draw combination that failed to hit was what did her in.

Another brief scan of the Signature Room shows three more notables have made their way to the black chip bounty event.
Anna Khait, Allard Broedelet and David Snedeker are all hunting for black $100 chips while trying to build their stack.
All three of these players began the day playing in Day 2 of Event 1, but after falling short of their goal in the Borgata Poker Room, they made the same long walk here that this reporter has become quite accustomed to.

After a quick scan of the Signature Room for notable names and familiar faces, we've spotted only three players who we recognize.
That will surely change though, as the poker community rises from its collective slumber and heads on over for some black-chip bounty action.

The second event of the Borgata Spring Poker Open kicked off at 11 a.m. local time, with hundreds of players hoping to bag a bounty of black $100 casino chips for each elimination they notch.
After more than 2,400 entries and reentries were recorded in Event 1 of the series, the Borgata is packed to the rafters with poker players looking to mix it up, so we expect a large turnout.
With Day 2 of the aforementioned Event 1 just getting started, the bulk of PokerNews' reportorial focus will be on the festivities there, what with a $1 million guaranteed prize pool up for grabs. But keep it here throughout the day to check in on the check-raises and chip ups happening in this black-chip bounty event.
