Event 21: Wolper Doubles
$200 + $30 Big Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 8: Blinds 400/800 with 75 ante
Howard Wolper was all-in for 19,400 on a flop of J T 9 with two diamonds. One opponent folded what he later said was two pair. The third player called, showing QT off for middle pair with open-ender
Howard had KQ for the flopped straight, leaving his opponent needing a King to chop or runner-runner for a full house.
An Ace on the turn improved Howard's straight to Broadway. His opponent could now only chop with a King on the river.
River was a 3 and Howard doubled up to ~40k.

Level 6: Blinds 200/400, 50 ante

That was his third cash and second final table of the Spring Open.
John Del Rossi (Mantua, NJ) has two cashes during this series, one of them a final table.
These two guys aren't related at all, but look enough alike that they could be brothers:

Level 4: Blinds 100/200
Joshua Supsak (Linwood, NJ) has relocated to a new table, in the 10 seat (held for re-entries). He told me he's on bullet #2 after an interesting hand:
After a raise and 3-bet, four players paid 2,500 to see a flop of 6 3 2 with two diamonds. Joshua had pocket 6s for top set, another player had pocket Aces, another player had pocket 9s, and the last had T9 suited in diamonds.
Joshua got all-in with top set against the flush draw and a diamond came on the river while the board failed to pair. The flush took the pot and Joshua hit the re-entry window.

Event 20 Recap
$260 + $40 + $100 Black Chip Bounty NLH (Re-Entry)
Our winner, who would like to be known only as "Jim S" - has just won the first major tournament he's ever played in after taking out Matt Burnitz (Paoli, PA) heads up. Jim S added Burnitz's $100 Bounty chip, the Borgata winner's trophy, and $12,485 cash.
Our winner wouldn't go so far as to call himself an amateur. "I'm just a guy who was eating dinner and decided to jump into a tournament." No matter how you define it, Jim S definitely made several pro moves to amass all 2,500,000 chips in play. "I had to be patient. I picked my spots and it worked out well."
Part of his strategy was to show a lot of hands. Players became afraid of him - as in afraid that he always had the goods.
Pocket Kings holding up three times this afternoon helped Jim S to make the final table. It was there that Borgata poker legend Howard Wolper (Atlantic City, NJ) ended in 9th for $936. And where poker pro Joe Liberta (Berlin, NJ) had his wired three's counterfeited by Jim's A-10 for a 3rd place ($3,952) finish.
The prize pool totaled $42,900 thanks to the 165 bounty hunters who faced the felt. Familiar Borgata names such as "Miami" John Cernto, Paul Darden, Eric "Clownfish" Doerr, Ben Geller, Andrew Interdonato, and Mark Wahba all battled today. When the dust settled, the gunslinger with the most bounties was Matt Burnitz with 13.
Congratulations again to Jim S for taking out the pros while cruising to a Borgata Spring Poker Open victory and taking home $12,485.

Event 20: 1st Place - Jim S.
$260 + $40 + $100 Black Chip Bounty NLH (Re-Entry)
Way to go to Jim S. who just won the first Borgata tournament he ever played in.
"I had to be patient...I picked my spots and it worked out" said Jim.
Part of Jim's strategy was to show a lot of hands. Players became afraid of him...afraid he always had the goods. Jim confessed he was setting up a couple key bluff's he wanted to implement at the final table. Those successful bluffs made him the chipleader with three players left.
A good mix of skill and luck for Jim who caught his share of lucky cards when needed.
He reached the final table with 120,000 and ended the night with 7 bounties.
The final winning hand of the night showdowned Jim's A-2 vs. Matt Burnitz (Paoli, PA) K-2.
Both players hit top pair on a flop of K-A-3.
Turn brought a 4 and the river a J for the victory.
Jim takes home the trophy and $12,485.

Matt Burnitz (Paoli, PA)
$6,867
$6,867
Under ten hands of heads up play before Jim S. takes out Matt Burnitz (Paoli, PA). Matt took out thirteen players throughout the day for and extra $1300 in bounties.
Out of the 165 entries, amazingly Matt felted 13.
"This was the first bounty tournament I ever played in" said Matt.
Matt was happy to finish in 2nd especially after having only 43,000 with 29 Players remaining. He was card dead and hanging on for 2 1/2 hours - fortunate to even make the money.
He's probably kicking himself for folding middle pair on the board, especially since Jim S. showed a bluff. Matt would have won that hand and crippled Jim - instead he had to battle from the short stack.
Burnitz is not a nit - he is a superior Borgata Bounty Hunter!
