Event 2: Power Struggle

Let it Ripp

Two of the biggest stacks in the Poker Room collide as the bubble watch continues with hand-for-hand play. We pick it up with a flop of 636 and Chris Valence (Hampstead, NH) leads out for 23k, Sean Ripp (Long Island, NY) calls from the button.

The turn is J and Valence, who begins the hand with 300k, leads again for 46k. Ripp, 250k to start the hand, reraises to 105k. Valence folds, prompting Ripp to show a 9♠.

The big hand swaps the balance of power giving Ripp the chip lead with 320k, but the bubble's still in tact.

For Ripp he's looking for another Borgata cash after finishing 4th in Event 2 of the Borgata Winter Open.
