Event #17: $3,125 Heads-Up attracted 58 entries at the start of the day in the tournament that had a cap of 64 players. All those entries created a total prize pool of $168,780 with eight players cashing and the winner walking away with not only the trophy, but also with the first-place prize of $67,512!

The first round featured some tough matches like Frank Funaro vs Alex Rocha, Stephen Song vs Joe McKeehen, BorgataPoker.com sponsored pro Michael Gagliano vs Brock Wilson, and Shannon Shorr vs Olivier Busquet for example. Six players got a bye to the next round and out of those six, Matthew Emmel, Jeffrey Hong, and Michael Marder were the ones to make it another round further.

In the Round of 32, Joseph Couden beat Funaro, Will Failla took down Song, Wilson knocked James Anderson out, and Ari Engel eliminated Shorr. Failla, Wilson, Marder, Engel, Couden, Matthew Sabia, Steven Sarmiento, Brock Wilson, and David Paredes all busted in the Round of 16.

This means that the following quarter-finals are to take place on Day 2 with all of them guaranteed at least $8,439.

  • Arian Stolt vs Matthew Emmel
  • Christopher Abela vs Jeffrey Hong
  • David Forbes vs Sandeep Pulusani
  • Timothy Rutherford vs Qi Hu

The remaining players will return at noon local time on Sunday, January 26 for their first heads-up games. Level duration will remain at 15 minutes with an increase to 30 minutes once the final has been reached. Players start with 20,000 in chips for each heads-up match and need to win two out of three games to advance to the next round.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be there from the first shuffle up and deal until the final heads-up match is over, so follow along as the updates are flowing in from the Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa in Atlantic City.
