Day 1bc Started

Welcome to Day 1b of Event 8: $250,000 Guarantee Deeper Stack No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry

The Borgata Winter Poker Open

Good morning from PokerNews and welcome back to our coverage of the 2014 Borgata Winter Poker Open. Around 300 players look to have filled into the event center so far for the second flight of the $250,000 Guarantee Deeper Stack No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry.

Fifty-six players survived the first flight to bag some chips, so we expect right around that same number at the end of the 16 levels that will be played today before we start all over for Day 1c at 7 p.m. Players will begin with 30,000 chips and the blinds at 25-50.

Level: 2

Blinds: 50/100

Some Entrants

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Here are some of the players we've taken note of on a lap through the field. Among them is Allard Broedelet, who was the chip leader of the final 27 of the ill-fated first event here. Perhaps he'll be more fortunate if he makes a deep run this time.

Woods Folds the River

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

James Woods opened for a raise on the button, then he called a three-bet to 925 from the small blind. Woods then called a continuation-bet of 1,200 on the {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop. The small blind kept it coming with 2,075 on the {9-Hearts}, and Woods again made the call. The river brought a {j-Diamonds}, and a bet of 3,050. Woods tanked for a couple of minutes before letting his hand go.

Also, Amanda Musumeci has joined the field.

Crapanzano Turns Trips

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

A player under the gun bet 1,000 into Andrew Crapanzano with the board reading {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Crapanzano raised to 2,500, and the first player wasted little time calling. A {j-Spades} arrived on the river, and the first player checked. Crapanzano fired 3,500, and he was again called. He showed {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for trips, and his opponent mucked.

We also spotted Torrey Korsog, who bagged up the chip lead on Day 1a of Event 1, taking a seat.

McAuliffe Wheeling and Dealing

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

A player in the cutoff bet 2,000 after a flop of {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs}, and the button raised to 4,000. Dan McAuliffe, who had initially checked, was undeterred by this action; he called. The initial bettor got out of the way, and the players checked a {2-Diamonds}. The {j-Hearts} river brought two more checks, and McAuliffe's opponent turned over {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. McAuliffe flipped the {a-Spades}{4-Spades} for a flopped wheel, and he scooped the large early pot.

Laieta's Four-Flush is Best

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Cotton Snuffer opened for 500 under the gun, and one player in middle position called. The next player raised to 1,500, and Chris Laieta cold-called. Snuffer called, and the initial caller came along.

The four saw a flop of {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and action checked to the preflop aggressor, who fired 3,100. Laieta and Snuffer called. The turn brought a {9-Hearts}, completing numerous draws, and action checked through. A {6-Hearts} on the river drew a bet of 4,500 from Snuffer. Both of his opponents called.

"Ten of hearts," Snuffer announced. Laieta showed {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for a higher flush, and he scooped the pot.
