The field has streamed out towards the exits for a 15-minute break.
2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open
After being eliminated from Day 2 of Event 1 over in the Borgata Poker Room, Luke Edwards has done what all professionals do best: get right back on the horse and keep playing.
Edwards walked into the Signature Room moments ago to take his seat in Event 2, and although his run in the $1 million guaranteed event came to an end, he was optimistic that a shift in strategy would do the trick:

Another brief scan of the Signature Room shows three more notables have made their way to the black chip bounty event.
Anna Khait, Allard Broedelet and David Snedeker are all hunting for black $100 chips while trying to build their stack.
All three of these players began the day playing in Day 2 of Event 1, but after falling short of their goal in the Borgata Poker Room, they made the same long walk here that this reporter has become quite accustomed to.

After a quick scan of the Signature Room for notable names and familiar faces, we've spotted only three players who we recognize.
That will surely change though, as the poker community rises from its collective slumber and heads on over for some black-chip bounty action.
