Updates from borgatapoker.blogspot.com:

Durr's doubled up thru Wax to take the chip lead.

Quote:

On a flop of 7h-5s-3d, Thomas "durrr" Dwan bets 115,000 and Michael Wax raises to 290,000. Dwan is all in for 405,000 more and Wax calls, showing 6s-5d to Dwan's Jh-Js. The turn and river are 7s-Ad and Dwan doubles up, becoming the new chip leader.

Then gets crippled in a 3 way all in, eliminating Wax:

Quote:

Michael Wax limps in. James Sowers limps in and Thomas "Durrr" Dwan checks. The flop is 9c-4c-5h. Dwan betst 65,000. Sowers calls. Wax is all in. Dwan calls. Sowers is all in. Dwan calls again.

Sowers has 9c-4h
Wax has 10d-9d
Dwan has Jh-Jc

The turn and river are As-8s. Wax is out and Dwan is down to 350,000.

i went from 40k o 110k w/o a showdown but my table was so aggro and i stopped picking up cards/hitting flops/i let zeejustin win a pot w/ Q high and ended the day on 49k.

So frustrating blinding down. on the 2nd to last hand of the day i picked up the best hand for the past 2 hours, AJcc UTG+1 (8 handed) ... and ****in clowny Eric Cajelas raises UTG to 7k w/ 35k behind.. i begrudingly fold and then he obv folds to a shove (from TT, which would have folded if i had shipped) WTF YOU RAISE FOLDING TEHRE BUDDDY. GRR.

but now i'm going into day 3 w/ my specialty, the bitch stack.

Gavin could be the first to the ''Triple Crown'' (a WSOP bracelet, he won the EPT Monte Carlo) and now it looks like he'll take the WPT Borgata. Gavin 12m, Tran 3m.

Gavin takes it down, finally eliminating Tran. The final hand, from Card Player:

Quote:

David Tran has the button, he moves all in, and Griffin asks for a count. It's 1.24 million. Griffin also asks how much time is left in the level -- about one minute. Gavin Griffin calls with QJ. Tran shows K8. Griffin needs to improve to win the tournament right here.

The flop comes A98, and Griffin is momentarily depressed before saying, "That's a pretty good flop." A ten would give Griffin a straight, and he's also looking for a queen or a jack. Tran picked up a pair of eights.

The turn card is the Q, and Griffin's friends cheer as he takes the lead with a pair of queens. Now Tran needs a king or an eight to stay alive.

The river card is the 10, and Gavin Griffin wins the pot -- and the tournament -- with a queen-high straight.

Again, Hooray for Gavin!!!!!!!!!! A most deserved win.
