All In All Its Just A-nother Nick In The Wall

Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship

Nick Ricciardi (Palm Beach, FL) - 530,000

This could be your second chip-leader just under Roslyn Quarto who recently took a small hit.

Ricciardi told me he received a couple of late Christmas presents when he saw his A-Q hit an A-9-4 flop and Opponent holding 8-8 decided to make an untimely shove.

So he's knocked out a couple players but other than that, not too many showdowns as Ricciardi is raising but not getting callers.

He's built a huge wall of chips to protect himself.

Matt "Muffins" Mazzeo is directly seated to his right and is building a wall of his own.

We'll report if these two decide to tangle.
