Eric Rowen opened and an opponent moved the rest of their stack into the middle, totaling around 20,000 and Rowen snap-called putting his opponent at risk of elimination as the two turned over their cards.

The board came down 
and Rowen's bullets took down the pot, eliminating his opponent from the tournament as he moved near the top of the food chain in the process of doing so.

was live against his opponent's 
.
Then the board ran out 
, missing both players, and Seat 9 took it with nut-no-pair. Marder was busted shortly before the end of Level 8 and the second break of the day.

Joe Cappuccio is a local pro and knows how to get it done on the cheap. He earned his way into this $600 tournament for much less, playing online at BorgataPoker.com. He won his seat last Sunday and joins 35 other players who entered this event via online satellites.
Cappuccio just missed out on taking home the 2018 Borgata Fall Poker Open Kick-Off trophy. He got heads-up with newcomer Frank Lagodich and after battling back and forth, they agreed on an even chop of the remaining prize pool. Cappuccio left with second place (out of 1,474 entries) and $128,358 — his best live cash.
