Average Stack:  3 million

Day 3 and the final of the Kick-Off is underway in the Poker Room.  Eighteen players remain in the hunt for the top prize of more than $200,000, plus the Borgata Spring Poker Open trophy.

Paul Vacchio leads at start of Day 3

Paul Vacchio begins Day 3 as the chip leader with 6 million chips.  He earned his first and only Borgata trophy during the 2012 Summer Poker Open when he won the $350 SixMax NLH event for nearly $21,000.  He’s certainly hoping for a return visit to the winner’s circle here today.

Of course Alex Rocha is hot on his heels with 5.68 million and won’t go down without a fight.  Alex also has one Borgata trophy, from the 2011 Winter Poker Open when he won the Kick-Off event for more than $150,000.
