Mini Main Event Champ Climbing the Counts

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

John Boriolo, who two days ago won the RIU Reno VIII Mini Main Event for $26,073, is rapidly climbing the counts here in the $235 Black Chip Bounty.

In a recent hand, a short-stacked player was all in for his last 20,000 with the {j-Spades}{8-Clubs} and up against Boriolo's {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. The board ran out clean and Boriolo collected another $100 black chip bounty.

Whelan First to 200K

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

An under-the-gun player raised to 6,000 and Teresa Whelan called from the button. Both blinds folded and it was heads-up action to the {2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{a-Hearts} flop.

The UTG player continued for 16,000 and Whelan responded by throwing her arms forward and saying "All in."

The UTG player had 76,000 back and thought for a bit before releasing his hand. Whelan proudly showed the {a-Spades}{8-Spades} for a flopped two pair.
