Event 16: Saul-ing Along
$700 + $70 + $500 Six-Max Purple Chip Bounty NLH (RE)

Position-Name-Amount
17th Alon Shahar (Flushing, NY) $1,602
18th Peter Ippolito (E. Meadow, NY) $1,602

Event 16: Late Arrival
$700 + $70 + $500 Six-Max Purple Chip Bounty NLH (RE)
Rachel Nagy (Mooresville, NC), the last woman standing, is the last person to arrive, a few hands into play. She's a bit flustered after having problems on the way to the casino.
Two quick eliminations means we're down to 18 players on three tables.

Event 16: Ready to Roll
$700 + $70 + $500 Six-Max Purple Chip Bounty NLH (RE)
The 20 returning players return to the Poker Room for their shot at the first prize of $42,469.
WPT title holder Kevin Saul is the chip leader with 530k and the two other big stacks, Matthew Fox (488k) and Jesse Cohen (421k) are each at different tables.
As the four tables merge it will be interesting to see how the big stacks are positioned the rest of the day.
Play resumes with blinds at 2,500/5k/500 ante.

Jeff Papola - 430,000
WSOP bracelet winner Jeff Papola is logging some hours here at Borgata. After winning a 10-10 vs. A-Q flip (Jeff had tens), his stack has now soared to one of the largest in the room.
Also at Table 3 is Alon Shahar (Queens, NY). He doubled up to just south of 100,000 after his A-Q of clubs found the nut flush against Opponent's A-7 of diamonds.
21 players remain. Bagging and tagging at 1:44 AM.

Event 16: Last Woman Standing
$700 + $70 + $500 Six-Max Purple Chip Bounty NLH (RE)
Rachelle Nagy (Lake Norman, NC) - 200,000
Rachelle Nagy and Jaimie Kerstetter were at the same table for hours. They were the last two women battling the guys on the felt.
Jaimie just went out inn 23rd place which makes Rachelle Nagy our Last Woman Standing.
Not bad considering this is Rachelle's first ever Borgata tournament. Of course she's played tournaments elsewhere but decided to make the trip up to AC from NC and give Event 16 a shot.
Jaimie 4-bet her 9-9 and lost a coin flip to A-K.
Congratulations again to Rachelle Nagy, a Real Estate Company owner from North Carolina.

Event 16: Bounty Bubble
$700 + $70 + $500 Six-Max Purple Chip Bounty NLH (RE)
The good news is Finian Anuforo had a $500 bounty chip in his pocket. The bad news is he just bubbled out of the tournament in 25th place.
After fifteen minutes of hand for hand action, Jaimie Kerstetter's A-J got the job done as she rivered a wheel against Finian's K-Q.
Jaimie raised on the button, Finian jammed, then Jaimie called.
Finian caught a king on the flop and was disappointed when the 3 hit and made Jaimie's straight.
Board: 5-4-K-2-3.
Congratulations to the final 24 players who have all made the cash.
24th place pays $1,202.
