Heftler called the all in, holding ace-jack and the board came down clean, eliminating Barinberg from the unofficial final table in tenth place. The unofficial final table was formed during level 21 after the elimination of David Nodes, and Lytle was leading the way with an immense chip stack as the final ten started to play.Įlliot Barinberg was the short stack to begin the table and was also the first player to be put at risk as he moved all in with ace-eight. The tournament returned on Day 2 with 49 players set to battle it out for a Borgata trophy, along with the $36,166 first-place cash. Heftler played with heart, attempting a bluff for all of the marbles but ran into the straight of Lytle as he was eliminated in second. Heftler had Lytle against the ropes but couldn't keep the champ down as Lytle fought back, taking the lead back through two doubles. Heftler and Lytle had a back and forth battle that took well over an hour to play out, with multiple lead changes in between. He ran over the final table without losing the chip lead until heads-up play against Julius Heftler.

Lytle took his hot start and began to apply tremendous amounts of pressure on his opponents, showing no signs of taking his foot off the gas pedal through the day.

This is the third Borgata trophy that Lytle will be adding to his resume and looks like it will definitely not be his last.
