Wolper Flushed by a Weak Ace

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Howard Wolper
Howard Wolper

Borgata's cashing machine Howard Wolper got his last chips in holding {a-}{5-} and got action from a player holding a weaker, suited, {a-}{3-}.

By the river, his opponent had made a flush, ending Wolper's run in 157th place for $1,246. This is now his 127th cash at Borgata, becoming the new record and extending his lead over his closest rival, Michael Marder, who has 90.

Marder Takes From Fishberg

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Michael Marder
Michael Marder

Greg Fishberg and Michael Marder are now both seated on Table 1 and they just tangled in a pot that didn't reach a showdown. Apparently Marder got the best of Fishberg in the confrontation.

Given that they're at Table 1, they're stuck with each other for the rest of the day, since this table will never break.

Sevens A'Plenty for Pfeiffer

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Renn Pfeiffer
Renn Pfeiffer

Renn Pfeiffer raised to 25,000 from early position and action folded to the player in the big blind, who defended to see a {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop.

The player in the big blind check-called a bet of 25,000 and then checked again after the dealer burned and turned the {j-Diamonds}.

Pfeiffer paused for a beat and then tossed out two T25,000 chips. That did the trick as her opponent wasted little time in folding.

Pfeiffer then flashed a smile as well as her two hole cards — the {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for a set.
