Marc Goldsmith Eliminated in 4th Place ($3,248)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Marc Goldsmith - 4th Place
Marc Goldsmith - 4th Place

Marc Goldsmith got his short stack all in with a hand containing {3-}{3-}, and with Mr. Anonymous cheering for a "three on the turn," he watched the dealer do just that when the {3-Diamonds} spiked on fourth street.

Unfortunately for Goldsmith, that gave Danny Chang a four-flush with his {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, and the river delivered another diamond to complete the draw.

Goldsmith earned $3,248 for the deep run, as well as "great night of entertainment" according to the gracious gentleman.

Four-handed play has ground to a halt, and the majority of pots for the last few minutes have been taken down with preflop raises.

Joseph Michael Eliminated in 5th Place ($2,526)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Joseph Michael - 5th Place
Joseph Michael - 5th Place

Joseph Michael was crippled earlier in unknown action (due to the randomly occurring table move), but the last of his chips were just claimed by an anonymous man.

Michael held {6-}{6-}{2-}{7-} but his lowly pocket pair was run down by the mystery man's {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} on the {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Spades} board.

Moving Day

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Play has been paused momentarily so that the Borgata tournament staff can move the final table to another area in the Poker Room.

No explanation was given for the move, but we're heading on over to the other side of the room to continue coverage.

Stay tuned...

Ernest Sarkisyants Eliminated in 6th Place ($2,165)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Ernest Sarkisyants
Ernest Sarkisyants

A player with no name (who we eventually ascertained to be Ernest Sarkisyants because we're good like that) ran his {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} smack dab into Danny Chang's {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} on the {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} board.

With a straight to the king, Chang busted the player who so stubbornly refused to identify himself (Ernest Sarkisyants).
