Reslock Reps Royalty
![[user253757]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The flop came down 
and with 128,000 already in the pot, Tyler Patterson tried an 80,000 feeler bet.
Resolock wasted no time in shoving his whole stack forward for the all-in raise, making it about 500,000 to go. Patterson did not appear happy at the development, and his cards were slid away into the muck. Reslock's response to the fold was an excited flick of his lone card protector chip, which he deftly snapped back into the air and caught with a smile.

Ruff Railed
When Naveh Morris opened for 45,000 from the hijack, Joseph Ruff reraised all in, and Justin Lunin-pack did the same, forcing Morris to get out of the way.
Lunin-pack's 
was in great shape against Ruff's 
, and the final board of 
left his king kicker as the difference. Ruff hit the rail in 35th place and took home $15,084 for his deep run.

Katayon Khaterzai Not Afraid
Despite having the massive chip leader sitting two seats to her left, Katayon Khaterzai just showed she's not afraid to mix it up with the big stack.
The flop read 
when we passed by and the pot already contained about 135,000. Jattin checked to Khaterzai and she responded with a bet of 85,000. Jattin stared across the table and studied his opponent, and she met his gaze while staring straight back at him. Jattin decided to call and take the 
on the turn, but he checked out after a bet of 95,000 or so.

Whangkyung Choi Sends Bellino Home
After an open to 45,000 from Bryan Choi on the button, Chad Brown called from the small blind, but Anthony Bellino made his stand from the big blind with an all-in bet of 172,000. Both Chie and Brown decided to take a crack at scoring the first knockout of the day, and the flop of 
was checked down. On the 
turn, Brown check-folded to Choi's 65,000 wager, and the two players left in the pot revealed their cards.
Showdown:
Choi:
Bellino: 
Bellino's pocket pair had been ran down by Choi's overcards, and the on the river changed nothing, leaving Bellino to head out as the day's first elimination.

Day 4 of the Borgata Winter Poker Open WPT Main Event Set to Start
Yesterday the Borgata Winter Poker Open WPT continued yesterday, with a field of 188 hopeful players enduring a marathon session in their attempt to make the money. It was approaching 15 hours of play before the field was whittled down to the final 36 survivors, and along the way the money bubble burst to leave the last 120 with an assured payday. Farid Jattin emerged as the overwhelming chip leader and enters Day 4 holding a significant lead over his closest competitor, Jared Jaffee. Take a look at the top ten stacks in the room to get an idea of how dominant Jattin was yesterday:
Day 3 Top Ten
| Place | Player | Chips |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Farid Jattin | 3,818,000 |
| 2 | Jared Jaffee | 2,340,000 |
| 3 | Robert Merulla | 2,150,000 |
| 4 | David Paredes | 2,000,000 |
| 5 | Kunal Patel | 1,975,000 |
| 6 | Kalyan Gullapalli | 1,738,000 |
| 7 | Bryan Choi | 1,635,000 |
| 8 | Michael Arrington | 1,380,000 |
| 9 | Matthew Parry | 1,373,000 |
| 10 | Faraz Jaka | 1,348,000 |
The story entering Day 3 was the unlikely wire-to-wire performance of amateur Laz Hernandez, who became the chip leader after Day 1 and turned the trick again to close out Day 2. Hernandez owned the largest stack in play for most of the day, but he was cut apart mercilessly by pro Byron Kaverman in a series of three hands.
The last 120 survivors were guaranteed at least a $6,000+ score, and while there were many recognizable names to get through the bubble, these players failed to bag and tag by the end of the night: Aaron Massey (109th), Amnon Filippi (107th), (81st), Dan O'Brien (80th), Robert Panitch (69th), Matt Affleck (65th), Isaac Baron (52nd), Harrison Gimbel (44th), and John Racener (38th).
Those pros and notables were unable to navigate the minefield, but made their way through the tough field to return for Day 4, including WPT bestbet Jacksonville Fall Poker Scramble winner Jared Jaffee (2,340,000), Faraz Jaka (1,348,000), Eric Wasserson (1,210,000), Kaverman (997,000), Chad Brown (896,000), Ronit Chamani (807,000), John Holley (614,000), John D'Agostino (510,000, John DiBella (423,000), and Joe Serock (301,000).
Today the final 36 players have moved to the Borgata Poker Room's high stakes area to compete for the right to appear at one of poker's most celebrated destinations: the WPT final table stage. Play resumes at noon local time here at the Borgata, as the field will be pared down to the final table. Be sure to keep it here with PokerNews throughout the day for live updates from the tournament floor.
