"Hitchcock and Iles" sounds like a crime-solving television duo, but they're just a couple of players who happen to share a table with the chip leader.

Jane Hitchcock is a New York Times best-selling mystery novelist who has taken up poker in recent years. In April of this year, she released her sixth novel, Bluff, which combines her love of poker with her writing talent.

Also turning up on Table 9 is Matt Iles, who won the February 2019 Almighty Stack event ($69,037). That was his third Borgata title.

Phan Phelts Cappuccio

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Joe Cappuccio
Joe Cappuccio

Joe Cappuccio open-jammed for 51,500 and got the call from Phillip Phan in the big blind. His {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} was crushing Cappuccio's {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

The board of {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} wasn't enough to save him and Cappuccio was busted.

That pot took Phan's stack up to about 270,000.
