THAT is sick. Stan takes first, Tab takes second? We'd all be screwed if that happened.

Well that depends on if I win or lose

I wish TAB and Stan all the luck. I wish Stan had mentioned he would be away from checking his 2+2 PMs for a couple days. I was hoping he'd do his magic for me for this weekend, but I'll have to make plans to visit the Borg some other weekend. His PM inbox must be overflowing by now.

When you get back Stan....trip report!

What's even funnier to me is that the player in the 9 seat at their table has the last name of Tabb. Stan is surrounded by Tab(b)'s!

Hopefully in addition to playing, Stan and Tab are using this opportunity to do some recruiting for the upcoming Borgata Poker Open, and maybe getting a first-hand review of the NAPT tournaments, maybe some interest in adding Borgata as a stop?

Any update on how Stan and Tab are doing?

Also, coming up Saturday-Monday for cash tables and the DS tourney. Should be sweet this weekend!

Tab and Stan taking 1st and 2nd would be epic, lol

As long as they are a WPT tour stop they can't be a part of another tournament league I don't think.

Looks like neither are still in play. 152 players remaining.

Play ended for me at 3pm. Just at the end of level 10. Tab made it through to day three tomorrow. tab has $93,600 with 125 players remaining. Paying top 105. GOOOOOO Tab

Stan

Weird, he's not listed on the site as one of the remaining players. Must be omitted...or changed his name.

In either case, welcome back. And I think punkass really wanted a room or two this weekend...

GoGoGoooo Tab!

Table 4
Seat 1: Tab Duchateau - 93,600
Seat 2: Jason Conforti - 29,300
Seat 3: Taha Maruf - 81,400
Seat 4: Roland Israelashvili - 104,000
Seat 5: Dean Schultz - 49,800
Seat 6: Brandon Hall - 491,500
Seat 7: Jeff Madsen - 89,800
Seat 8: Francis Vizza - 47,000

WOW Brandon Hall has a sick chip stack. He is AretheseUtz online. Complete monster from PSU. Roland is a decent live pro and we all know Jeff. Table talk shold be interesting between the two as I'm sure Tab was present when Jeff won the winter open.

Wow! The Borgata tournament director vs. the 2010 Borgata Winter Open champion. Who will prevail in this ultimate test of poker skills? Stay tuned.

Tournament Success for the Tournament Director
One name that's well-known in poker circles -- but escaped our attention the first two days -- is that of Tab Duchateau. Duchateau is the tournament director at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. Under Duchateau's stewardship, the Borgata has become an industry leader and one of the pre-eminent destinations for big buy-in poker tournaments in the northeastern United States.

Duchateau does not often play tournaments himself (this morning on an internet forum he posted that he has new respect for people who do so for a living) but he's poised for a deep run here at Mohegan. He recently wound up all in pre-flop against Frank Vizza. Vizza had red tens but Duchateau had black aces. His aces were best on a board of , doubling his stack to about 210,000 chips.

I've never met Tab, but still...congrats! Take home the win!

Party at the Borg!

With Stan and TAB being management folk who don't get to play casino poker anywhere in NJ (as opposed to dealers who can just walk on down to Harrah's) there's that nice hit of serendipity to see that they haven't given up poker entirely. Then to see both of do pretty well.

Really puts a nice (extra) level of personality that makes Borgata Poker even more of a unique institution on 2+2 and in the field of live poker in general.

Sometimes... it just makes me want to throw up all over Commerce and Foxwoods. Even the Venetian, Bellagio, et al.

At 5:00pm Tab texted that he had 240K with 61 plyers remaining

Stan

Thanks for the update Stan and glglglglglglglglglglglgl Tab!!!

46 players left...Tab still in it with approx 314k (middle of the pack). Ivey, Rousso, Johnnybax, and others still in it.

gogogogogo tabbbbbbb!!!
