White Gets Thumped

HillKerby

In Level 13 with blinds of 1,800/3,600 and an ante of 450, "ELITEMALESSO" opened the action under the gun with a raise to 12,600. Chris “rumpthumper” White was next to act in the hijack and three-bet jammed for 41,800. Action folded back to "ELITEMALESSO" and they made the call.

Chris “rumpthumper” White:
"ELITEMALESSO":

White hit top pair, top kicker on the flop but was still behind his opponent's pair of kings. The turn gave him four more outs to Broadway, but the river bricked out and he found himself dry on chips as the pot was sent to "ELITEMALESSO". Moments later, White rebought and received a new stack of 50,000 on the same table.

HillKerby

You might recall that In early 2019, Daniel "leinad" Buzgon signed on as a BorgataPoker.com Sponsored Pro – one of three alongside Michael “Gags” Gagliano and Katie Stone.

“It took a little bit of time to get all the paperwork and stuff like that,” Buzgon previously told PokerNews of becoming sponsored. “It was in December when it started but wasn’t official until just before the Borgata Winter series. Duties include mainly playing a lot online, promoting the site, and trying to get new players on the site.”

According to HendonMob, Buzgon has more than $2.3 million in lifetime live tournament earnings since 2007. He’s a four-time World Series of Poker Circuit ring winner has played for big money before. In 2001, he finished third in the WPT Borgata Poker Open for $335,433, and last year he finished fifth in the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event for $202,942. He also finished fourth in the 2012 WPT bestbet Jacksonville for $94,624.

Additionally, Buzgon is a beast online where he’s amassed more than $3.1 million in earnings, of which $435,457 has come on BorgataPoker.com where he plays under the screen name “leinad.”

HillKerby

In Level 15 with blinds of 2,500/5,000 and an ante of 625, action folded to Anthony “Flawlessbinkage” Maio on the button and he opened to 10,000. Michael “UFOLDIWIN” St. John three-bet to 35,000 in the small blind, leaving himself just 3,100 behind as action moved to Kevin “sofcknsick” Campbell in the big blind who cold-called the three-bet. Maio also called and the three saw the flop come .

St. John checked to Campbell, who bet 5,000. Maio called and then St. John called all in for 3,100 to take heads-up side-pot action to the turn , where Campbell fired out another 38,000 and Maio quickly folded.

Michael St. John:
Kevin “sofcknsick” Campbell:

St. John turned a flush and was up against a turned two pair held by Campbell. He was able to fade the four outer to a full house on the river and the pot of 117,000 was sent his way for the triple.

Maio Knocks Out "spinach_kale"

HillKerby

In Level 16 with blinds of 3,000/6,000 and an ante of 750, Michael “UFOLDIWIN” St. John raised to 12,000 in the hijack and Kevin “sofcknsick” Campbell called in the cutoff. "spinach_kale" three-bet shoved for 46,000 in the small blind and Anthony “Flawlessbinkage” Maio came over the top for 162,000, forcing the other two players in the pot to fold.

"spinach_kale":
Anthony “Flawlessbinkage” Maio:

Maio was ahead and became the one to further improve as the board ran out to give him a flopped set which gave way to a turned straight that earned them the pot and the bounty.

Meanwhile, James ‘Bagels’ Lillis was eliminated by Ryan "Whosyourdoddy" Dodd on an adjacent table just moments earlier, and the pair of eliminations brings the number of players in the field down to 13.
