Borgata Wrap-up
|
CHECK OUT THE FINAL LIST OF PAYOUTS
Well its over folks, and the reporting is complete. We had a real tough final table with some well known players and some who are on their way to being well known players.
Larry "gold" Goldstein played extremely well working his way back from being super short on Monday night to making a huge comeback to the final table with the second largest stack at 3.9 million. Who knows what happens if his AA holds up against the Huge stack of Mark Reynolds when they get it in, while Mark was holding QQ. John Racener's day may have been different if his filled straight on the river wasn't doomed by Weiwen's Full House. Weiwen doubled through John on that hand and it took more than half his stack.
Alan "BodogAri" Engel scored his largest tourny win to date and played exceptionally well. On Monday night, he was another short stack. I made the comment after about three double ups how I couldn't believe how anyone would challenge him without anything less than the nuts a he was in absolute sit back mode waiting for monster hands, and getting them. He played a very patient final table and was never really short at any point. Mark Reynolds was rushing like nothing I've seen before catching one and two and three outers to put guys out hand after hand. Thats not an indication of poor play either. With his chip stack it was absolutely correct to be playing his hands against the hort opponents. He just had good timing and a sick run of turns and rivers.
The staff at the Borgata made everything easy for us to be able to bring you the coverage. Helping us with technical issues on the spot, runners to help to gather info, and complete access to the whole room in order to bring you the best available updates at all times.
Many thanks to all who participated with the interviews, coming on air live to help, and to those who offered getting help on background info on some of the players.
Look back for a schedule of our next coverage of live and online events coming soon!
