Beth Russo
Beth Russo has moved into the chip lead with ~140,000, but she’s at a tough table. She’s got Tiffany Lee on her right, and Pat Knoll, Marguerite Spagnuolo, Jamie Giunta, and Jamie Kerstetter also sharing the same patch of felt.
Over the years, Beth has made two Ladies Event final tables and two additional Ladies Event cashes, so she’s got plenty of experience in this format.

Dawn Wilno
We’ve got several Ladies Event winners in action today, but Dawn Wilno’s probably got more Ladies Event final tables than all the others combined.
Dawn won the Ladies Event at the 2010 WSOP Circuit in Atlantic City and has also had much success here at Borgata. She’s made eight Ladies event final tables, but has yet to take home a Borgata trophy. She celebrated her Birthday last week, so a shiny Borgata Open trophy would make a nice birthday present!

Victor Paulino – 1st Place – 2017 WPO Deeper Stack
Last Winter, the Deeper Stack drew 313 runners and created a prize pool of more than $60,000. They played until about 4am to reach the final two players, who agreed on an adjusted payout. Victor Paulino took 1st place and $14,396.
Today’s event is starting an hour later and also has to contend with the NFL Conference Championship games, but there’s a $30,000 Guarantee on total buy-ins, so that should help bring out a crowd.
