With the elimination of Josias Santos in eight place, the final seven players or a 292-entry field in Event #7: $230 Deeper Stack NLH began to discuss an adjusted payout deal. The stacks were counted down and it didn't take long for them to come to terms.

Steve Nooralian, who was holding a slight chip lead at the time of the deal, took first place earning $7,872 and his second Borgata Poker Open trophy.

"Now I have a Deeper and a Deepest Stack Borgata Poker trophy," said Nooralian with a smile.

Peter Zarriello was playing nearly an identical stack and earned $7,871 for his runner-up finish.

Matiko Doubles Before Break

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Jason Matiko
Jason Matiko

Jacob Naumann raised to 65,000 from under the gun and it folded to Jason Matiko in the cutoff who moved all in for 265,000.

The big blind put his last 39,000 in the pot and Naumann called putting both players at risk.

Jason Matiko: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Jacob Naumann: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Big Blind: {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} and the big blind paired his four on the river to stay alive. Matiko scooped the remainder of the pot leaving Naumann with less than one big blind and he was eliminated the very next hand.

The players are now on a 15-minute color up break and we are just three eliminations away from the final table.
