Event 17: Table-One Pair

$350 + $50 Big Stack NLH

Edwin Lau & Marguerite Spagnuolo

No strangers to Borgata Poker or each other, Edwin Lau & Marguerite Spagnuolo have been seated next to each other at Table 1 since the event began. Everyone else is gone while Lau & Spagnuolo managed to survive the talkative table.

Marguerite was sweating her friend Darlene Jackson last night who made the final table in Event 14. Hmm, I don't see Darlene returning the favoring and railing Marguerite. Just saying...

Another Table 1 casualty fell right before my eyes.

Opponent 1 re-shoved all in for 60,000 total, at risk.
Opponent 2 tanks a bit then calls and tables A-K.

99 vs. AK.

As soon as the flop shows Q-A-2, Opponent 1 hangs his head, stands up, gets his jacket, and looks away ready to exit.

Just as the turn card 10 hits the felt, Edwin says, "Oh Wow!" pretending a nine fell giving his boy a set. Opponent 1 looks to the felt expecting to see a nine and extend his tournament life - instead he sees the ten and is the butt of a joke. The timing was right on and the table did laugh. Actually, Opponent 1 laughed too - what a good sport.

Another Queen on the river sent him packing, for real this time.

Players chirped out, "that was wrong" as they all laughed.

67 players remain - 36 get paid.

Average stack is 119,104.

Playing this until it's over folks.
