Event 20: Back from Break

$3300 + $200 WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship NLH

As everyone hustles on break to grab a soft pretzel or a scoop of ice cream, players hopeful of making the blog state their case and it usually starts with something along the lines, "I just had an interesting hand."

The winner of this round's random update comes from Joe McElwee (Harleysville, PA) who says he just doubled-up to 130k when his top pair, top kicker dodges a flush draw.

Also stopping by media row is Roz Quarto who says she ran her stack to 100k, dropped to 5k and is now back to 100k.  "Xanax helps," she says while going with the more healthy approach on break by grabbing some fruit.

Play resumes with 435 players and an average stack of 90k (56 BB) as level 13 (800/1,600/200 ante) is underway.
