Familiar Face

Event 1: $500 + $60 Deep Stack NL (2 Re-entry)

Reslock, 0 for 3

Three strikes and your out has a whole new meaning for Borgata regular and Atlantic City resident Chris Reslock, who busted from Event 1 of the Borgata Winter Open the maximum of three times. But here's the catch, he was eliminated from the same table each time.

"I was surprised, but happy," said Reslock, the 2007 WSOP bracelet winner about returning to Table 15. "Usually you want to go back to your table, but then again, they knocked me out three times."

Reslock began the day at in seat 4, but was knocked out when he tried to bluff the big stack of Sean Miller (Long Island, NY). Round two has Reslock and Miller butting heads again with Miller holding the nut straight vs Reslock's two pairs.

"He's a good guy," said Miller, "but I think he was here more for the entertainment. He was all over the place."

After being eliminated from seat 10, Reslock's last chance comes from seat 8. On his final trip to the table (second re-entry), Reslock flops a straight, but by the river is rundown by a fullhouse.

"I had fun," says Reslock. "It was a good table."

Miller is certainly enjoying it as he's up to 97k.

Level 6 (200/400/50 ante) is winding down.
