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

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.

Jacob Naumann:
Big Blind:

The board ran out 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.

Level 22 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

There are just two tables remaining and Josias Santos has vaulted to the top of the chip counts. The Florida pro just scooped a massive pot to move over a million.

Santos' poker resume is a lengthy one that boasts over $1,000,000 in career earnings and the only thing it is missing is a Borgata Poker title.

Just fifteen players stand between him and the trophy and Santos is heating up as we approach the final table.
