Event 20: Brady Busted
I spoke, er, typed too soon. Matt Brady is out the door.
45 players remain and all five tables are now 9-handed. Average stack is 72k.
Bobby Deppe's pocket 8s were crushed by the short-stack's pocket 9s, all-in pre-flop. The 9 on the river was just overkill. Bobby shipped the double across the felt.

Event 20: Borrero Bobbles; Rebello Doubles
$1500 + $150 NL
Miguel Borrero doubled up a short-stack who was all-in with AK suited. Miguel held A9 suited and failed to connect with the board. He's lost half his stack since dinner break. I wonder what he ate?
On a J 5 2 flop, Todd Rebello got all-in for 21,100, getting action from the button, who held KJ for top pair. Todd held AJ for the same pair with superior kicker. The last two cards came 2 Q and Todd doubled up.
Todd Rebello
Joanne Monteavarro was the last woman sitting in this event and she has now departed, so it is all testosterone from here on. Joe Simmons has also busted out.
54 players remain.
Another level has lapsed. Play continued into level 10 blinds 600/1,200 with 200 antes.

They're down to six tables here in the back of the Poker Room. Matt Brady is now at his fourth (or fifth? or sixth?) table so far today. He keeps getting moved to a table about to break. But he's still here, which is more than 102 other players can say.

On a flop of J 9 7, seat 7 bet and Jeremy McLaughlin (Washington, DC) came over the top. Seat 7 called all-in and Jeremy showed pocket 9s for the set. Seat 7 was way behind with AJ (top/top). The last two came 1 A and the all-in player improved to Aces-up, but it was not enough. He hit the rail and Jeremy collected his chips. He's not up to ~130k and the new chip leader. (He happens to be at the same table as Alan Sternberg, the previous chip leader.)
"How many sets have you flopped at Borgata, Jeremy?" asked Gordon Eng. "About 500, I think. Do I get some balloons?" replied Jeremy. His new nickname is officially "Set Man".

Father Hawkins
Maurice Hawkins took a break from the Borgata Spring Poker Open and flew home to be with his eight month pregnant wife Aprelle, in Hollywood, FL. Little did he know he'd be returning to Atlantic City as a father, again.
"I was just going for a two day visit and she went into labor early," says Hawkins, who's daughter Harmony was born April 17th, exactly one month early. "Everything worked out," he says of his 4 lbs.-14 oz., 17 1/2" daughter.
Hawkins is back at Borgata playing in the $1,500 and looking for a win to honor the family's latest edition. "I have the greatest wife," he says. "She supports me through everything and anything."
Hawkins is a regular tournament player at Borgata and has numerous cashes including a 13th place finish in the 2009 WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship. His pro numbers are 5 titles and nearly $400,000 in career earnings.
While receiving congratulations from other players, the 31 year old is quick to say that he wants to be out of diaper duty by the time he's 35 and glad to balance his poker and family lives.
"Poker is easy, family is hard," he says, but hard in a good way. "You have to be so many things to so many people, yet find a sense of yourself. All you can do is try your best."
While providing the stats on Harmony, Hawkins calls a preflop raise and says, "I'm supposed to call with this hand." The flop is 10♦ 5♦ 2♥ and Hawkins calls the 3k continuation bet.
The turn is the 4♠ and both players check. The river brings the 6♣ . The initial raiser, throws out a bet of 4,500 and Hawkins snap calls and shows A♣ K♦. His opponent mucks and Hawkins takes down the pot to build his stack to 80k.
"Now back to my kids," he says with a big smile, while raking the pot.
Harmony, joins big brother MJ (7), Naliyah (5) and Amadee (4).
Life is good both at the tables and on the home front.

$1,500 + $150 (NL)
On the turn the board read A♠9♦7♦8♦ and John Myung (middle) was all-in for 12,450 against the player on the button. When they rolled over their hands, John's A♦K♥ (top/top with nut flush draw) was trailing his opponent's A♥7♥ (two pair) but John had a lot of outs. Any diamond, King, 9, or 8 would give him a winner.
The river delivered the 9♣ which gave both players two pair, Aces and nines, but John's King kicker played. He doubled up and is now sitting behind about 45k in chips. That's pretty good since he was down to only 1,800 in the second level today.
