After getting through with a number of open-shoves and prelop three-bets, Gene Mazza tried again after the player with no name opened to 375,000 from the button.
Mazza three-bet jammed for his last 1.5 million and the unknown soldier tanked for about two minutes while talking himself through the hand.
"I don't want to call..." he said to Mazza. "But I think I have to here. Maybe I'll hit my man..."
While the mystery man was deliberating, Mazza put in his two sense, responding succinctly after hours of subdued silence.
"Don't double me up," he said. "I'm dangerous if you double me up."
"He speaks English!" said the man who dare not speak his name. "First thing I've heard you say in six hours other than all in."
Finally, seemingly motivated by Mazza's speech, the anonymous man made the call, showing down 
to find himself racing against Mazza's 
.
The flop of 
came in a flash, and when it did the table's ghost had indeed hit his man, spiking a set of sevens to leave Mazza drawing dead. The 
came on the turn just to give Mazza a reason to always remember the forgotten man's face, and the river came 
to make things official.
Mazza finished in 4th place for $14,351, while the man without a name moved one step closer to having his preciously guarded secret identity enter the public record on the Borgata's tournament winner website.
