Moments after Amanda Musemeci (Philadelphia, PA) has her kings cracked, Cherish Andrews (Brigantine, NJ) sends the the last of her 50k to Dan Wach (Boonton, NJ) when her 77 is crushed by KK.
That means the last lady sitting is Jamie Kerstetter (Monroe Twp., NJ) who is at 75k and coincidentally moved to the seat previously occupied by Musemeci.

Andrew Badecker (Vernon, CT) moves all in for 17k, Herm calls (70k total), a third player moves all in for 38k and another player is also all in for 18k. Herm makes the call.
Badecker: KJ

The river queen gives Herm the scoop and he's now up to 150k.
Herm was a high stakes online player, screen name 'dipthrong,' before Black Friday. He has nearly $200,000 in career live tournament earnings and has just started a podcast called the Chip Herm Show.
Herm is also friends with Badecker, who was the inaugural winner of the Borgata Fall Poker Open Championship event for $389,000. He says the early exit will give him extra sleep as he's prepared to defend his title.
And he's hoping that he only needs to play Day 1A, "people aren't afraid to put their chips in here at Borgata."

Event 16 Recap
$700 + $60 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
John DiBella (Eastchester, NY) flopped a set on the last hand against top two pair to win the $700 No Limit event, good for $36,870. This is his first Borgata Open title, even though he has had several cashes and final tables here previously. The real estate investor had to cut the post-game interview short as he bought into today's $1k SixMax and was being blinded off.
DiBella was lucky to get heads-up. When three-handed play began, he had only 300k and was the short stack looking across the felt at two stacks of 1 million plus. He continued to grind and caught a double-up from third-place finisher Joe Liberta (Berlin, NJ) when his AJ held up against Liberta's A9.
Liberta busted out soon after, running A7 into David Johnston's AQ. He picked up $11,675 for third place. Liberta was looking for his second Borgata Open title today to go with his win in the 2011 BPO $350 Deep Stack No Limit event ($49k), but came up short.
Second place and $20,279 went to David Johnston (Somerspoint, NJ). David started day two dead last in chips among the final eight players. He caught a double-up early with AT against KQ suited and parlayed those chips into a runner-up finish.
181 entries generated total buy-ins of $126,700. The final 18 players got a piece of the prize pool.
John DiBella won the 2012 PCA $10k Main Event in January, taking home over $1.7 million. When asked how this win compares to his PCA win in January, John replied "It's always good to win".
