Carlos Alvarado
We missed the actual hand but we made it to the table with enough to time see Carlos Alvarado smiling, enjoying his always present (unlit) cigar, and stacking chips. The fun-loving Borgata favorite is up to 465,000 and cruising into the late portion of the tournament.
Alvarado already binked a six-digit score this year with a runner-up finish in the Almighty Stack.

John McGuinness
The technical difficulties were resolved and Event 20 is back underway with 120 players remaining, 45 getting paid, and one final Borgata Summer Poker Open champion.
They are chasing the two biggest stacks in the room that below to John McGuinness and Ryan Meyers. McGuinness topped 450,000 before the break and Meyers is close with 431,000.

The Borgata Marketplace, a perfect spot for dinner break
The ~120 remaining Event 20 players are now on a 60-minute dinner break, plenty of time to enjoy the different facilities in the casino on a Friday evening.
They will return at 8:30pm and continue their night playing down to the title.

Joe Fortuna
Tournament staff built an additional, brief break on the schedule to get the structure in line for the dinner break. They left the area for a 10-minute breather and will return for two more levels before dinner.
When they come back, they’ll be trying to catch big stacked Joe Fortuna. He’s on 350,000 heading into the extended break with a couple over 300,000 but none as big.

Dennis Belcher
The calls of “seat open” are heard throughout the Signature Room on a regular basis. Players are not wasting any time trying to run up a stack or get out to enjoy the casino on a Friday evening. We are under 200 and we’ll be another few tables shorter by the time the dinner break hits in an hour.
Dennis Belcher is moving in the other direction. The Borgata regular is sitting with more than 250,000 in the middle stages of the tournament and looking good to make the dinner break bubble.

We get a few players in our events who had some face time on TV in the past, but that’s usually in the form of a big final table or televised cash game. Josh Berger grabbed a few week’s worth a few years ago for a non-poker reason.
Berger may be recognized for a stint on the FoodNetwork show “Worst Cook in America”. Not only did he spend time in front of the camera, he went on to win the entire competition. On the felt, Berger’s most recent cash came here earlier in the year during the February Deep Stacks Challenge series.

Players are back in their seats after the third break of the day and registration is officially closed for the last tournament on the 2018 Borgata Summer Poker Open schedule. The tournament clock shows 432 entries (besting the 428 from this tournament last year) but we will wait for the accounting to be completed to confirm.
Assuming no major numbers glitch, Event 20 will pay out the last 45 players and we will post the prize pool information as soon as it available.

The once busy poker room is now void of Event 20 players and everyone in the tournament is now located in the Signature Room for the last chance at a trophy.
They will play out this level and take another break with registration closing when they return.
