We are set for what should be an exciting final table at the Borgata Spring Open Championship in Atlantic City!
Will someone be able to follow in the footsteps of Andrew Badecker? Badecker won the Borgata Fall Open Championship in November and has been red-hot on the poker circuit ever since, picking up cashes from around the world.
One person certainly looking to grab that type of momentum is Florida's Chad Batista. Batista enters final table play third in chips, and Batista has been playing some good poker for the past few days.
A man that is no stranger to these situations, especially in the Northeastern US, is Cliff Josephy. Josephy would be the pick of many people at any final table, but, the fact that his chip stack is a 4:1 underdog to chip leader's Jia Liu means that things won't come easy for the man they call JohnnyBax.
Matt Woodward, who entered Wednesday play as the chip leader, is still alive and kicking; Woodward's stack sits just below the average chip stack line.

Jia Liu 4,219,000
Russ Dykshteyn 2,400,000
