Deepest Stack players are on their first break of the day, but before the break, a big hand took place in the back of the room.
Frank Reina had pocket Queens against Matt Levy’s pocket Jacks, and would have been on the rail “if he had been a more aggressive player”. Frank would have put his whole stack in pre-flop, but Matt only flatted his 3-bet.
“The Ace [on the board] saved me,” added Frank, as an Ace on the board made his Queens less appealing. Somehow Frank managed to not go broke after Matt flopped a set and rivered quad Jacks.
As of the break, Frank’s still got about 30,000. Matt’s up to ~47,000.

Mike McGuinness is a Borgata regular and tournament grinder that we’ve seen off and on throughout this series. Unfortunately he’s yet to get on the scoreboard during the Summer Open.
Most of his success at Borgata has come in the DeepStacks Challenge events and other non-Open series. He’s got seven Borgata wins, but has yet to claim a Borgata Open trophy.
Today is his last chance to rectify that this summer. After today, he’ll have to wait until the Borgata Poker Open, which is schedule for September 4-21.
