Free-Rolling Stoner Takes One Out

Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship 

Fritz Stoner won his seat in the Borgata's online constest, so he's free-rolling in this event.  He just got into a confrontation with a short-stack, who moved in on a flop of T 8 7.  Fritz called him down with pocket Kings.  The short-stack held pocket Jacks.  Fritz's Kings held up and he picked up the pot, sending another player to the rail.  Fritz is now up to ~90k.

A rail which would be very crowded if busted players actually stayed there.  35 tables remain of the 60 that started today.  That means ~225 players have already gone broke today.  ~315 remain.

Roz Quarto is up to ~360k and continues to build her stack.
