Finne Not So Fine

Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship      

On a flop of T 9 3 with two spades, Timothy Finne got all-in against Josh Brikis.  Timothy held KJ of spades for the flush draw with gutshot and two overs.  Josh held J8 of hearts for the open-ender.  Josh got there and Timothy didn't, so Timothy is now gone...across the room to play in event 23, the $300 + $50 No Limit noon tournament.

Josh Brikis is up to ~90k.

Pasquale Boffice (Manahawkin, NJ) made it to day two and is currently sitting behind about 31k.  Below average, but with 250/500 blinds, he's still got 62 big blinds and room to work.

Pasquale has cashed a couple of times here, but is still looking for his first big score.  His wife is here sweating him from the rail.  They own a couple of restaurants that keep him busy when not playing poker.
