PARKER, PAPOLA, DANNENMANN HIGHLIGHT FINAL TABLE AT BORGATA

SOURCE: BORGATAWINTEROPEN2012.blogspot.com

We are ready for Final Table Friday at Borgata! The field in the Main Event at the Borgata Winter Poker Open in Atlantic City has gone through four days of intense poker play - but were rewarded with a shorter day today - and now, our final table is set.


The chip leader heading into Friday play is Marc Goldman. Goldman (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) has had only a few live tournament cashes throughout his poker career - this will be the biggest cash in his career no matter where he finishes.

Brock Parker will enter FT play with the fourth best chip stack. Given his successes at this past summer's WSOP, Parker (2011 PTPR Rank: 689th) should be one of the favourites on Friday.

Jeffrey Papola finished third in a Deuce to Seven Lowball event at the WSOP. Papola (2011 PTPR Rank: 436th) also won a WSOP bracelet back in 2010.

A blast from the past holds one of the short stacks as final table play approaches. Steve Dannenmann (2011 PTPR Rank: NR), who finished second to Joe Hachem at the 2005 WSOP Main Event, will be looking for his first major score since the Series.
