A Double-up for Faehner

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante
Gene Faehner
Gene Faehner

The board read {2-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{q-Hearts} with around 13,500 in the middle.

The player in the big blind had 10,000 in front of him as a bet while Gene Faehner was all-in in the middle position for 27,300. The big blind tanked for a while and then opted to make the call but instantly flung his cards into the muck as Faehner tabled {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for the full house.

McGuinness Still In The Hunt

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Mike McGuinness
Mike McGuinness

Mike McGuinness has eight Borgata titles, but all came from non-Open Series one-day events. He's still in the hunt for number nine and his first Open title.

With eight firsts, he's tied for second-most with Barry Leventhal, who also has eight Borgata titles. They both trail Borgata's winningest player, Abraham Korotki, who sits alone at the top of the record books with ten wins at Borgata.

Two Familiar Faces

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
David Jackson
David Jackson

David Jackson has taken his seat in this event to try and score his first cash at the 2020 Borgata Winter Poker Open.

In 2019, Jackson won the $2,700 No Limit Hold'em - Borgata Fall Poker Open Championship, defeating Paul Volpe heads-up for $211,334 after winning the $400 No Limit Hold'em - Deepstack a week before. But that's not all, he also took down the Borgata Spring Poker Open Championship after besting Shannon Shorr heads-up for $304,929 to score his two biggest live tournament cashes in his poker career up till now.

Kevin Mathers or more commonly known as Kevmath in the poker/twitter world has also traveled to Atlantic City to try and cash here. According to a tweet this morning, he has set himself with some goals, one of them was to last longer than 2 hands, and that's one goal down already as the tournament is approaching the third level of the day.
