The 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open is underway here in Atlantic City, New Jersey, kicking off with a $560 no-limit hold��em reentry event today. Taking place at one of the finest gaming destinations Atlantic City has to offer, the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is a definite crowd pleaser featuring a luxurious spa, a variety of fine-dining restaurants, and a stylish nightlife to help get your mind off the bad beats taken at the poker tables.
There are a number of different dining options available inside the Borgata making it convenient to never require leaving the hotel. Whether you are looking for something quick and easy, or something a bit higher-end, the Borgata has a taste to satisfy and meet your needs.
Bread + Butter is the perfect place to enjoy an afternoon bite serving up sandwiches and gourmet beverages. One perk is the breakfast menu left as an all-day selection, making it a great spot for those late-night craves. The classic grilled cheese is a patron favorite, or you can also try the Portobello and provolone griddled sandwich, both of which �� along with most of the menu �� are $10 or less and won��t break the bank.
As a man who has revolutionized the culinary industry, Wolfgang Puck has served up bold and innovative cooking for years and now offers contemporary American cuisine in an upscale setting at the Borgata, as part of his first East Coast venture. Enjoy truffled potato chips, spicy lamb chorizo pizza, or a prime burger from the tavern menu as a less-expensive dinner option. Or you can treat your taste buds and choose one of the many options from the main course on the fine dining menu.
Once you��ve had your fill of the action at the poker tables, take the time to sit back, relax and enjoy a glass or two of your favorite drink.
Gypsy Bar specializes in tequila but also offers an eclectic beer selection and compliments your drink with a roaring atmosphere of live music. The intimate space has seating at the bar, traditional pub tables, and comfortable armchairs for a lounge-type feel. Low lighting also helps to keep the mood mellow. Oh, and don��t be afraid to get a little crazy. Gypsy Bar comes complete with a dance floor allowing you to move your feet to the best sounds in town.
Never been to the Atlantic City or to the Borgata? Then MIXX is the first place to check out because it fully captivates what the Borgata is all about. As a performance-driven dance club, MIXX is home to some of the most renowned DJs and official concert after-parties.

You will find trapeze artists swinging from the rafters, and celebrities passing through on any given night.
OK so maybe the club scene isn��t for you. Don't worry, because Borgata comes fully equipped with the most luxurious of spas on the east coast. Dedicated to undoing the effects of your day, Spa Toccare offers relaxing treatments guaranteed to exhilarate. It is definitely the place where tensions melt and knots disappear.

The Seniors event is now on a 15-minute break.
We saw Denny Gross push last 2,500 or so forward with the final board reading 
.
His opponent tanked for a little while before flicking out the calling chips, and Gross immediately tabled his 
for essentially the nuts. The other player failed to produce quad sixes, and with that Gross doubled through to put himself back in contention.

We just watched Jim Steinlee sweat the result of fifth street...not once, but twice.
The board read 
by the river, and Steinlee's 
was displayed near his committed stack. A group of tournament officials hovered near the table, however, attempting to sort through a dealer error to decide whether the original river should stand.
Apparently, Steinlee had shoved all in on the turn, but the dealer had mistakenly produced a river card before his opponent announced an action. Both Steinlee and the other player were confused at that point, and he rolled over his set of ducks to show the winner.
The opponent held 
for top two pair, and despite seeing that he was beat he elected to call anyway after the floor ruled that the would be washed back into the deck before a new river was dealt. Despite knowing he would need to spike a four-out shot to catch up, Steinlee's opponent still wanted to gamble for the large pot.
The dealer did as instructed and reshuffled the remaining cards in the deck, before revealing the 
as the official river card. Steinlee's set held up - twice - and he was awarded the nealry 40,000-chip haul.

The Seniors event has added actor and longtime poker player James Woods to the field, as he continues to play the majority of events on the schedule here at the Borgata Spring Poker Open.
Good-natured and gregarious as always, Woods said hello before commenting that he wanted to play the Ladies Event as well.
When reminded that another man had already crashed that party, the quick-witted Woods didn't skip a beat before replying "that's alright, we're all gonna pants him on the break!"

Timothy Little went busto a few moments ago, striding past the PokerNews Live Reporting desk still sporting the sincere smile that is his signature.
Soon enough, Little was returned to the very same table he had just departed, after reentering the event to take another crack at at building a stack.
