We've already spotted a trio of players who all failed to survive Day 1b of Event 1 yesterday; "Karate" Mike Santoro, Brian Ali, and Micah Raskin.

Despite lacking an elite poker r��sum��, Santoro became famous in the mid 2000's due to the often televised U.S. Poker Championships. Santoro didn't win the event, but his antics and actions made him somewhat of a household name in the poker community.

Brian Ali recorded a big six-figure score here in Atlantic City in 2011, winning a WSOPC event and $139,284. Since then Ali has never cashed for more than $3,848, but perhaps he will return to his winning ways here at Borgata.

With nearly $2 million in career live tournament earnings, Raskin is the most successful of this bunch. Raskin, a New York native, won the 2009 Borgata $500K Guaranteed Deep Stack Tournament for $320,231, and three years later reached the final table of EPT Sanremo. He has a handful of other six-figure scores, including another runner-up finish at Borgata, a win in a side event at EPT Berlin, and a final table appearance in the 2013 $25,000 High Roller at the PCA.
