Calnan and Borchetta Bubble #CPPT Final Table

CPPT Main Event (Day 2)

Level 23 (8,000/16,000/2,000)
Total Entrants: 282
Players Remaining: 10
Chip Average: 820,000

Jason Calnan (Revere MA)

After getting crippled by Frank Sgambato, Justin Calnan was left with just under 100,000 chips and although he managed to get a double up through Dilipkumar Patel to get back to a "workable" stack, Sgambato would be finishing the job a few hands later.

The action was picked up with Calnan open shoving from middle position and David Grandieri would call on the button and Sgambato would flat in the small blind as well.

Sgambato would then open shove close to 315,000 on a flop of [4s][Qh][4d] and Grandieri would toss a chip onto his cards and push himself away from the table.

Sgambato would count out his chips and Grandieri would say, "It's irrelevant." rolling his eyes as he clearly had a big decision on his hands.

He'd eventually fold [As][Qc] face up, a massive lay down of top pair, top kicker, but it would turn out to be the right one as Sgambato turned over [Kh][Ks].

Michael Borchetta (LaGrangville, NY)

Calnan would need to hit on the turn and river as he held [8h][8c] and Sgambato's pocket Kings would hold to finish Calnan off in 11th place.

Prior to that elimination, Michael Borchetta who came into today as the shortest stack couldn't have his [Ad][Kh] hold against the [Kd][9d] of Dilipkumar Patel's [Kd][9d] on a board of [3d][Qh][4d][3c][9s].

Both Calnan and Borchetta will make $6,564 for their efforts.

We are now down to our "unofficial" Card Player Main Event Final Table, as there are ten players remaining and the players are now redrawing for their Final Table seating assignments.

After the first elimination at this Final Table there will be a short break for players to fill out their informational sheets for the CardPlayer.com live stream broadcast.
