The first of six starting flights in the 2019 Borgata Poker Open Event #10: $400 Almighty Stack NLH drew 346 entrants, but after 17 levels of play 74 remained. Leading the Flight A pack with 1.547 million was Spencer Champlin, who was fresh off cashing for $20K as a part of a four-way deal in Event #4: $400 Saturday Series Deepstack.

Others to bag big were Frank Funaro (1,317,000), Frank Lo (1,209,000), Matthew Mendez (1,136,000), and John McGuinness (991,000). They were joined by Josias Santos (986,000), Paul Freedman (671,000), Spencer Davies (543,000), Jimmy Lee (510,000), Bob Van Syckle (259,000), and John O’Neal (101,000).

Among those to fire and fall on Flight A were Sheree Bykofsky, Renata Colache, Jo Stagliano, Jackie Scott, and Donald Williams. Fortunately, they all have the opportunity to try again in any of the other flights if they so choose.

Day 1b of the tournament is happening now – you can follow the live updates here – while Flights C & D will take place at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. respectively on Wednesday. The two biggest flights, Days 1e and 1f, will then be held on Thursday at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. respectively.

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

John Rogers got his stack of 121,000 all in preflop and was in prime shape to score a late-night double.

Opponent:

Rogers was just looking to dodge a four or some other such tomfoolery, and that's just what he did as the board ran out [10hqs7sqha] to give him full boat.
