Marcus Marks Territory

Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship

Greg Marcus played well and went deep in the last two of these Championships and is looking to go even deeper this year. The first step has been accomplished as he just scored a needed double up with his 94,700 tournament life at risk with only J-8 suited.

Josh Brikis gave him action with A-10 and the two saw a board play out: 5-5-4-J-5 giving Marcus the boat.

Also at table 2, Aryeh Grunewald (Jackson, NJ) just won a coin flip against a very tight player who is now out.

Grunewald's A-K vs. Opponent's 10-10.

King on the flop held up and Grunewald builds his stack to above average numbers.

"That was a tough call. That's why I took a minute to decide" said Aryeh.

Players are dropping out faster than we can keep up with them.
