This year’s Borgata Fall Poker Open concluded with its $2,700 Championship Event, which saw 437 players enter the tournament to create a prize pool worth $1,092,500. Five days of action later, and emerging atop of the field was Wenhao Ying, who overcame his last opponent Matthew Wantman heads-up to claim a first place prize of $200,000.

Wenhai Ying’s previous biggest score was recorded after finishing this year’s $5,000 Lucky Hearts Poker Open in 3rd place for $60,577. Following his victory in Atlantic City, Ying now increases his career earnings to $355,576.

$2,700 Championship Event

The Borgata Fall Poker Open Championship attracted a large enough field to offer a prize pool $92,500 in excess of its $1 million guarantee. Among the recognizable pros seeing a return on their investment was Andrew Fegan in 45th ($5,299), Ari Engel in 40th ($5,299), Anna Antimony in 28th ($5,828), Asher Conniff in 21st ($6,570), Dan Buzgon in 18th ($8,372), and Lexy Gavin in 14th ($10,597).

Final Table Recap

Wenhao Ying entered the final table of six holding a sizeable 141bb lead, with nearest competitor Matt Wantman on 109bbs. These two players would ultimately go on to contest the title heads-up. In the meantime, a fair distance back was Dat Vu on 65bbs, followed by Brian Altman (47bbs), Paul Volpe (38bbs), and Michael Glick (37bbs).

Wenhao Ying (J-J) added further to his stack by eliminating Brian Altman (10-10) in 6th. Soon after, Ying (A-10) called Mike Glick’s (Q-6) preflop all in move, and promptly sent the short-stack to the exit in 5th.

Matt Wantman subsequently entered the fray after being dealt 10s-9s and calling Dat Vu’s (Jh-10h) shove on a Js-7s-3c-5c board. A 5s on the river completed Wantman’s flush to oust Vu from the competition in 4th. Following Paul Volpe’s departure in 3rd, the final battle got underway between Wenhao Ying and Matt Wantman for the title. Ying then managed to overcome his remaining opponent to claim a career first tournament victory.

2018 Borgata Fall Poker Open

The 2018 Borgata Fall Poker Open ran from November 6-21, and featured 20 events with buy-ins ranging from $200 to $2,700 for its Championship Event. In total, the series attracted around 7,000 competitors and paid out more than $3.4 million in prize money throughout its schedule.

Attracting the biggest field was its starting tournament, $540+60 DeepStack NLH, which drew 1,474 players and was eventually won by Frank Lagodich for $128,359. Meanwhile, the $450 Almighty Stack attracted the second biggest crowd of 1,073 players, with Anna Antimony claiming its top prize of $91,586. As a result, the New Jersey pro now boosts her career earnings to $655,432, of which $237,986 has been amassed in 2018 alone, making this year her best to date.

Another female player making a splash at the Borgata Fall Poker Open was Kathryn Stone Cappuccio, who topped a 745 player field at $300 Deepest Stack for a $19,337 payday. Cappuccio has now won three Borgata titles in total, placing her in a three-way tie on the ‘Most Wins at Borgata by a Woman’ list, alongside Anna Antimony and Patricia Barsanti-Chou.

2019 Winter Poker Open

Normal poker operations have now resumed at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City. From December 26th-30th, however, its Poker Room will host the DeepStacks Challenge Series. From January 15th to February 1st, the 2019 Winter Poker Open will then return to Borgata’s Event Center venue, and subsequently climax in the WPT Winter Poker Open Championship from January 27-31.

Last year, the $3,500 WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Champion attracted 1,312 players, resulting in a huge $4,199,712 prize pool. In the end, Daniel Weinman bested Nathan Nate Bjerno heads-up to claim a top prize worth $892,433, and would eventually go on to win the season ending WPT Champion of Champions for $381,500.

The 2018 World Poker Tour Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event steamed onward on Wednesday, with the final three tables being determined and Steven Greenberg taking over the chip lead with a 3.753 million chip stack.

Day 3 of the tournament saw 159 players returning to the tables at the Borgata in Atlantic City, NJ, but there was an ominous tone to the proceedings. With 156 players getting paid in the tournament, that meant that three people that came back to the Borgata on Wednesday would be departing quickly and with nothing to show for their efforts. The cards hit the air just after noon on Wednesday to take on this challenge and nobody wanted to be one of those who would depart on the bubble of the cash.

The first two eliminations came within 10 minutes of the opening bell, bringing the tournament to the stone money bubble with 157 players remaining. On the fifth hand of hand-for-hand play, not one but two players were knocked out to split the 156th place money. First, Jonas Wexler went all in with a K-Q, but chip leader A. J. Kelsall looked him up with pocket fives, flopped a set and rivered an unnecessary boat to take him out. Simultaneously, Konstantinos Koufalis got the last of his chips in on an A♥ K♥ 5♥ 4♦ flop and turn against Erick But. Koufalis’ K♣ Q♥ had a few hopes against But’s A♦ J♥ (the other two Kings, any heart), but the river 7♦ ended those hopes. Although both were eliminated on the bubble, Wexler and Koufalis did get a small return on their time through earning $3064.50 each for their finish in a tie for 156th place.

Once the money bubble popped, there was the usual “short stack rush” from the players who were just hanging on in the tournament to make the money. Micah Raskin, Esther Taylor, John Roveto, Keven Stammen, Cornel Cimpan, Ray Quartomy, Ryan D’Angelo, and Richard Seymour all picked up some cash for their efforts and, after a few hours, new contenders would emerge for the championship. In one case, that contender was almost out of the tournament before hitting a huge rush to race to the end of the night.

With a flop and turn of 6♥ 5♣ 3♣ J♥ and facing a 55K bet from his opponent (into a 70K pot), Steven Greenberg pondered the situation extensively before moving the remainder of his stack (265K) into the center. Greenberg’s opponent, Richard Foster, himself took a moment before making the call and turning up his 9♣ 4♣ for the baby flush draw. Greenberg had the goods with his 6♦ 5♦ (two pair), but he had to also feel some trepidation with the possibility of nine clubs ending his tournament. The river was a black card, but it was the K♠, giving Greenberg the double up to 600K and starting him on a hot streak.

Greenberg didn’t waste those newfound chips. He more than doubled that stack (to 1.285 million) by the time the dinner break rolled around, putting him in the Top Ten in the tournament. After the sustenance, Greenberg came back to the felt to take down former WPT champion Mike Linster in a classic race, Greenberg’s pocket Queens standing against Linster’s Big Slick, to crack the two million chip mark. Although he would double up a tough customer in Eric Afriat to fall off that perch, Greenberg didn’t take his foot off the gas. As the tournament day inched towards its conclusion, Greenberg had not only recovered those chips he gave to Afriat but also added to the stack, going over four million chips in eliminating Collin Whyte in 31st place late in the evening.

On the last hand of the night, Joseph Giulino pushed out his last 326K in chips, the classic “double up or don’t come back tomorrow” move, and he was looked up by Adam Hendrix. Giulino’s pocket fives were ahead of Hendrix’s A-Q through the flop, but a Queen on the turn flipped the fortunes. When the river wasn’t a five, Giulino was out of the tournament in 28th place, setting the stage for the final three tables today.

1. Steven Greenberg, 3.753 million
2. Chase Bianchi, 3.698 million
3. Stephen Song, 2.613 million
4. Raghuram Jonnalagedda, 2.503 million

Bubbling under the Top Ten are former World Champion Joseph McKeehen, (1.185 million), Afriat (1.123 million), Jonathan Little (1.1 million) and Kevin Saul (940,000). They are still in it, but Casey Yontz (495,000) and Amnon Filippi (484,000) have some work to do if they are to drive much further.

It looks as though it will be a long day on the Jersey Shore. The plans are to play from the final 27 players at noon down to the WPT final table of six. Once this is achieved, the survivors will come back on Friday with the championship hanging in the lurch, along with the $651,928 that the eventual champion will take home.
