John Bencivengo

The biggest flight of Event #13: $600 Deepstack Main Event drew out a total of 1,421 entrants out the Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Each one of them with their eyes fixed upon the $2 million guaranteed prize pool. A double elimination resulted in just 177 of that initial field putting chips in a bag, returning to play at 12:00 PM tomorrow with the survivors of the prior flights. 

Leading the way with the only stack this flight to cross seven figures is John Bencievengo with 1,043,000. Only holding one prior cash on his Hendon Mob, Bencievengo circled the biggest stacks in the room for many levels before ending up at the top of the counts. He now looks to make his second at the Borgata and ever a sizable one as he hunts for his first title. 

Shaun Bonefas (938,000) and Mike Hurley (926,000) are rounding out the podium of the flight. Full chip counts will be posted here at a later time.

Bubble Boy Bob Borkowski

Level 19: 10,000/15,000, 15,000 Ante

Action was picked up on the river in a pot between Bob Borkowski on the button and Abraham Hichman in the hijack. Tyler Ashcroft was all in and force at risk preflop in the big blind. 

The board read and Hichman bet 50,000 to see Borkowski move all in for 184,000, which Hichman called.

Hichman's set of eights was good for the pot to send out two players from the tournament on the stone bubble.
