We didn't see the action, but Emad Alibsi and Nicolas Markatos just got it all in with 
and 
, respectively. The board ran out 
, leaving Markatos' jacks best, and Alibsi was covered. He rapped the table with some force, wishing his tablemates good luck.
Markatos has about 2.5 million.
With blinds at 50,000-100,000, Wei Wang pushed his 140,000 stack in from early position. Greg Wish reraised to 300,000 after action folded to his button, and Mark Rebuck made the call from the small blind. Both players checked the 
flop, and a 
turned. Rebuck checked, Wish bet 200,000, and Rebuck folded.
"I have an out," Wang announced. Indeed, he turned over 
for a double-gutshot straight draw. Rebuck held 
for top-top, and the river was a safe 
for him.
According to a tournament official, Mauricio Desilva shoved for about 800,000 over a raise and a call. Mark Rebuck, who had opened from early position, made the call, and he ended up making a flush with 
against Desilva's .
Steve Gill shoved for 390,000 from the cutoff, and Greg Wish peaked down at his hand in the big blind.
"I'll gamble," he announced.
Wish: 
Gill: 
Far from gambling, Wish had a solid lead, which stood up on the 
flop. A 
turn gave Gill a gutter, but the river was a 
, no help to the former World Series of Poker Circuit winner.
At the same time, Julian Miranda got his short stack all in with 
against the 
of Andy Hwang. Hwang flopped a six and busted Miranda, who had been grinding a short stack from start to finish, according to his tablemates.
Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler, Aaron Mermelstein and Asher Conniff are now apart of the field.
Conniff sits on a stack of about 52,000, while Kessler just took his seat after late-regging.
With the flop reading 
, an unidentified player led out for 700, only to see Cotton Snuffer up the action to 1,500.
"You look like Heisenberg man, you know that?" asked the player faced with the raise.
"I know ah I do," replied Snuffer, obviously aware of his alter ego.
The player decided to look the Walter White lookalike up, and the 
fell in on the turn. Perhaps intimidated by the unique persona he was tangling with, Snuffer's opponent checked to the aggressor.
Snuffer then rolled out a bet of 2,525 and stared his man down, forcing a quick fold.
"You know I didn't want that ten to come out..." Snuffer said to nobody in particular, showing down the 
as he did so. With three sevens, Snuffer dragged another pot his way, one night after winning a side event for his third victory in just seven days here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open.
With a limited turnout today due to the return of the dreaded Polar Vortex, the field is comprised mostly of players who basically live at the Borgata already.
Nonetheless, we've managed to find a few players who we know and love. Longtime tourney pro Mickey Appleman is here, as is Borgata reg Alyson Parker, who just chopped a side event along with a few other players to pocket a cool $4,000.
David Heck was also spotted trying to build another stack, fresh off of his 3rd place performance in last night's Event 8 ($250,000 Guaranteed Deeper Stack NLHE Re-Entry). Heck took home $36,389 for his deep run last night, and after a marathon final table that lasted nearly eight hours, Heck is back for more.
Finally, Cotton Snuffer is playing yet another tournament, and after watching the man known to his tablemates as "Heisenberg" dominate the early events here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open, we fully expect him to be a force here today.
With just 17 players left in the field, Event 10 is now on a 10-minute break.
Andy Hwang is the most notable name still vying for the title, and after taking down last year's WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event for more than $730,000, Hwang is no stranger to success here in Atlantic City.
Hwang currently sits with 1.47 million after bagging the second biggest stack last night.

In light of the massive snowstorm to hit the eastern seaboard during the last few days, Event 12 of the Borgata Winter Poker Open was cancelled yesterday. The $150,000 Guaranteed Big Stack No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry event simply would not attract a sufficient turnout for the guarantee to be met, and thus the cancellation was forced.
A new event was created and scheduled, however, with Event 99 just now underway. The $230 Deep Stack No Limit Re-Entry tournament will start players with 25,000 chips and will consist of 25 minute levels.
