12:40 AM
Undisputed chip leader Tom Coan
Barry Greenstein, the source of most of Coan's chips. Coan rivered a flush and drew out on Greenstein's set. 10:30 PM Play ends for the day. The tournament will resume tomorrow at 11 am. Blinds will start at $300-$600, $100 ante. A complete chip count for the end of Day 1 will be posted here as soon as it is available. 9:50 PM Partial chip count (estimated): |
| Tom Coan | 275,000 | | David Pham | 95,000 | | Vince Napolitano | 70,000 | | Evelyn Ng | 58,000 | | Erick Lindgren | 52,000 | | Chau Giang | 50,000 | | JC Tran | 45,000 | | Chip Jett | 42,000 | | Kathy Liebert | 40,000 | | Russell Rosenblum | 40,000 | | John D'Agostino | 40,000 | | Mike Matusow | 36,000 | | Chris Tsiprailidis | 35,000 | | Barry Berger | 30,000 | | Mickey Appleman | 30,000 | | Barry Greenstein | 30,000 | | Gavin Smith | 28,000 | | Steve Hudak | 25,000 | | Chris Ferguson | 22,000 | | Steve Zolotow | 20,000 | | Cyndy Violette | 20,000 | | Joseph Hachem | 20,000 | | Phil Laak | 16,000 | | Allen Cunningham | 14,000 | | Clonie Gowen | 14,000 | | Curt Kohlberg | 10,000 | | Erik Seidel | 9,000 | | Mike Sica | 9,000 | | Dan Heimiller | 4,000 | 9:10 PM Blinds increase to $200-$400, $75 ante. This will be the final level of the evening. 9:00 PM It occurs to me that when you hear somebody celebrating like crazy in a poker tournament, that person has almost always put a painful beat on somebody else. They're cheering for the unlikely, come-from-behind card that just spiked on the river. Whenever I hear such a display, I try to look for the tormented person who is silently seething about their misfortune and their opponent's presumed idiocy. I witnessed this scene earlier. The owner of pocket aces was disturbed when his opponent moved all in on a KJ4r flop. He called with extreme reluctance, and was shown KJ. A counterfeiting 4 hit the turn, and KJ was busted. AA began shouting "Yeah! That's how we do it!" or some such. 8:35 PM There are now 39 tables remaining. People are lasting a little longer than the tournament staff expected, so we may have to play late tomorrow. 8:25 PM There's a pretty strong table right now that has Cyndy Violette in seat 3, Mike Matusow in 7, Allen Cunningham in 9, and Steve Zolotow in 10. A combined seven bracelets between that crowd. It's also an extraordinarily versatile group, unusual in this age of Texas Hold 'Em specialists. Violette's bracelet is Stud 8-or-better. Matusow has bracelets in NLHE and Omaha Hi/Lo. Cunningham won titles in Stud, NLHE, and Deuce-to-Seven. And Zolotow, the most old-school of them all, has bracelets in Pot-Limit Hold 'Em and Chinese Poker. 7:50 PM Play resumes. Blinds increase to $150-$300, $50 ante. 7:10 PM All remaining players received a coupon for a free dinner at the buffet. However, it seems unlikely that the buffet will be able to accomodate a mob of nearly 400 poker players within one hour. 7:00 PM Partial chip count (approximate): |
| David Pham | 80,000 | | Barry Greenstein | 75,000 | | Ross Mallor | 74,000 | | Carlos Mortenson | 66,000 | | Bryan Mogelefsky | 60,000 | | Mike Matusow | 53,000 | | Jean-Robert Bellande | 48,000 | | Kathy Liebert | 47,000 | | Hoyt Corkins | 47,000 | | Evelyn Ng | 36,000 | | Layne Flack | 33,000 | | Chip Jett | 33,000 | | Mickey Appleman | 27,000 | | Chris Ferguson | 26,000 | | Clonie Gowen | 25,000 | | JC Tran | 25,000 | | John D'Agostino | 25,000 | | Jennifer Tilly | 22,000 | | Gavin Smith | 20,000 | | Barry Berger | 20,000 | | Bill Gazes | 20,000 | | Steve Hudak | 18,000 | | Phil Laak | 17,000 | | Erik Seidel | 17,000 | | Mike Sica | 16,000 | | Cyndy Violette | 15,000 | | Erick Lindgren | 15,000 | | Alan Ehrenworth | 13,000 | | Robert Toft | 12,000 | | Curt Kohlberg | 11,000 | | Ted Lawson | 11,000 | | Dan Heimiller | 10,000 | | Joseph Hachem | 10,000 | | Mimi Tran | 10,000 | | Antonio Esfandiari | 9,000 | | Phil Ivey | 6,000 | 6:40 PM Dinner break. Play will resume in one hour. 5:20 PM There are now 43 tables remaining. On the back of the press pass that we (press) are issued, there is an ominous warning: "#6: Online written reporting will be permitted until further notice." Is internet final-table coverage under suspicion? I'm hurt. 5:15 PM All players must now ante $25. The blinds remain at $100-$200. 4:20 PM Here is the complete entry list for this event (scroll down for a list sorted by starting table):|

Celebrity is the main currency of our economy, the prime value in our news and the main impetus in our charitable works. It is the predominant means of giving and receiving ideas, information and entertainment. Nothing moves in our universe without the imprint of celebrity." - Ziauddin Sardar 1:25 PM "Notable" players than I have seen include: Andy Bloch, Steve Brite, Eric Buchman, Mark Cole, Hoyt Corkins, Allen Cunnigham, John D'Agostino, Freddy Deeb, Alan Ehrenworth, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Layne Flack, Noli Francisco, Chau Giang, Alan Goehring, Clonie Gowen, Michael Gracz, Barry Greenstein (wearing an awesome new beard), Joseph Hachem, Phil Ivey, Chip Jett, Phil Laak, Ted Lawson, Kathy Liebert, Erick Lindgren, Mike Matusow, Robert Mizrachi, Evelyn Ng, David Pham, John Phan, Russell Rosenblum, Erik Seidel, Mike Sica, Gavin Smith, Jennifer Tilly, Robert Toft, "Syracuse" Chris Tsiprailidis, Cyndy Violette, and, always last on the list, Steve Zolotow. 12:35 PM Blinds increase to $50-$100. 11:55 AM There are over 500 players in this tournament, many of whom qualified through single-table satellites late last night, and early this morning. The last satellite went off at 5 am, which may explain the fatigue of some of the players, who probably aren't used to getting up by 11 am under normal circumstances. Also, many of the players went to a late night party at Mixx, the Borgata's nightclub. By all accounts it was a pretty good affair, and it probably accounts for more than a few sets of bleary eyes. Up to this point, the Borgata Poker Open has been a rather sleepy local tournament. But now the tournament area is a scene of commotion. The players are dutifully focusing on the game, but flittering between them are swarms of recently-arrived media, vendors, entrepreneurs, and others trying to get a piece of the big pie that TV brings to the table. 11:35 AM The Borgata, which strives to present itself as Atlantic City's youngest and hippest casino, has sent several of its "Borgata Babes" to the tournament area. One of the Babes - the casino's own name for the exceptionally attractive, exceptionally young girls that it hires - is walking the tournament floor holding a giant card that says "Level 1", like you would see at a boxing match. It's a good gag, and a good way to showcase the Babes. However, the most attractive women in the house are not the Borgata's made-up showgirls, but a group of eastern European girls who are toiling inside of the Stewart's hot-dog trailer. 11:25 AM Here is the general information for this tournament: |
