Level 9: (500/1000/1000)
Entries: 414
Meanwhile, recall that it was Daesun Yu who took Mike’s first bullet. How did he fair?
Daesun and the dealer muck his cards – hard to beat the nuts. Robert Nadolny, right,
Daesun busted earlier, then insisted he would be back for revenge. Somehow he got the same seat. Unfortunately, revenge will have to wait.
Nicholas Carbone takes Daesun’s chips with the turned straight. He check raises the river and gets all of it from the unlucky Daesun’s second bullet.
James Hundt, on distant table 20, looks keen to bluff catch here, getting two streets out of an aggressive second best hand. Two cashes so far this BPO for James. John Yanni looks on.
The guarantee has been met, yet still two levels of registration remain. The prize pool grows.

Liam He makes his living as a butcher, but has also seen success as a tournament player. He cashed for nearly $298,000 in the 2016 Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship when he finished 3rd.
He began Day 4 yesterday as the chip leader, but saw that lead dwindle and Eric Yilmaz accumulated chips. Nevertheless, he never gave up, holding on and battling back from the brink several times to make it to the final six.

Austin Wentling has only been playing for about seven years, but already booked a six-figure score. He won the HPT Main Event last November for more than $102,000. Regardless of where he finishes today, he’s already locked up more than that. He’s from nearby Pennsylvania, so didn’t have to travel far for this event.

Oleg Shnaider (photo courtesy Joe Giron/WPT)
Starting the day a distant second in chips in seat 3 is Oleg ‘the Destroyer’ Shnaider. With 7.75 million chips, he’s got 52 big blinds to work with and demonstrated on day 4 yesterday that he knows how to hold on to those chips.
He’s from Brooklyn and booked his best score in right here at Borgata in the 2015 WPT World Championship where he finished 18th for $34,775. He won his seat in this event in a $700 satellite, so he’s already parlayed that into a huge return. This is his second cash of the series, as he pocketed $5,000 in a Super Survivor last week.
