Alan Sansone got all in before the flop with 
against an opponent holding 
. The board ran out 
.
"Ah, we got a chop," Sansone said.
"You been drinking?" another player playfully asked, pointing out that Sansone had eliminated his opponent with ace-high.
"Ah, it's late," Sansone said. Indeed, the players have been grinding for 12 hours now. Sansone now has 230,000 with the blinds at 4,000-8,000.
As the wife of a former World Series of Poker Main Event champion, Olga Varkonyi is accustomed to her husband Robert receiving the lion's share of the coverage when the happy pair decides to play a tournament series.
Today, however, it's Olga who has managed to outlast her bracelet sporting hubby, as she has survived to reach the final four tables of Event 9 ($300 Ladies Deep Stack No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry).
Although she is currently short-stacked at the moment with around 38,000 chips (less than half of the average at this point in the night), her spirits remain high. After all, she knows better than most that anything can happen when a Varkonyi has a chip and a chair.
Seniors have gone on a 15-minute break.
Brandi Baldwin bet 16,000 after an opponent checked to her on a flop of 
. The player called, and we saw a turn of 
, which both players checked. A 
fell on the river, and the first player fired 20,000. As soon as the chips moved over the line, Baldwin announced all in.
Her opponent folded, and Baldwin has around 250,000. When players return from break, they'll be playing with 2,500-5,000 blinds with a 500 ante. Thirty-nine players remain.
There are currently 30 ladies left with chips in the Borgata Winter Poker Open, which puts the average stack right around 110,000 at the moment.

. He eliminated one opponent and took a chunk out of the stack of the small blind.
Fifteen players remain after a flurry of small stacks busted out in the seniors event. Blinds are currently 6,000-12,000 with a 2,000.
We missed the bustout hand that ended Chad Lepes' tournament life, but according to the ladies still left in contention, it was Borgata regular Lynne Mitchnick who dispatched the dastardly dude.
As the only male with the stones to take a seat in Event 9, which is supposed to be a Ladies-only tournament fit for the fairer sex, Lepes was the subject of scrutiny throughout the day.
When he ran his 
up against Mitchnick's , the young man confronted the mother of all poker hands, and you know what they say about a mother scorned.
A brief round of applause went up around the room when Lepes went bust, and despite falling short of the money herself, Mitchnick can take pride in defending her hometown casino's honor.
Jenni Chang watched an opponent move all in before her, and when she woke up with 
her decision was already made.
Chang moved her stack in the middle as well, and when the flop fell 
, her set of aces gave her a commanding lead in the hand. The luckless lady with jacks would now need to hit perfect-perfect to catch up, as only a king and queen on the turn and river would be give her the win.
Wouldn't you know it? A fell in on the turn to add a little drama to the proceedings, but despite the at-risk player's calls for another lady to arrive on board, the 
on the river officially ended her tournament.
Here is a look at the last 15 players left in Event 7 ($340 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em).
Each of these players is guaranteed to earn at least $789.
