[Removed:363]'s Luck Ran Out on the Bubble

Kaelaine Minton

Level 20

As soon as play resumed at the final two tables, the tournament lost three players in short order!

Glenn Engelbert will not be adding a fifth Borgata title to his resume here today and he was followed out the door by Zach Gruneberg, another player with previous Borgata wins. Joel Gumbiner's departure brought them down to the bubble.

Hand-for-hand action only lasted a couple of rounds before the short-stacked Eddie [Removed:363] was felted. His departure in 13th place propelled the remaining 12 players into the money, guaranteed to earn at least $550.
