Papola & Ricciardi Join Million Chip Club

Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship  

On a flop of A T 6 -- all clubs -- Jeff Papola tanked for a bit, then announced he was all-in.  The player in seat 7 called quickly, tabling AK -- no club -- for top/top.  Jeff held AT -- no club -- for top two pair and the lead.  The last two cards were offsuit 6 7 and Jeff took the pot, sending another player to the payout desk.  With that pot, Jeff is up to ~1.1 million and in the top three in chips.

Nick Ricciardi's pocket 2s hold up against Gavin Smith's AK to win a small pot.  Nick is now just over 1 million in chips and fourth in the field.
