It was about 4am on Thanksgiving morning when the final trophy event of the 2018 Borgata Fall Poker Open came to an end and with it, the exciting November series was a wrap.

Earlier on Wednesday, a relatively unknown 24-year-old grad student named Wenhao Ying went wire-to-wire on the live streamed final table to claim 1st place in the $1 Million Guaranteed Championship event, along with $200,000* and his first Borgata title. In fact, this is his first title on record, more than doubling his lifetime earnings, which have all come in the previous 27 months.

Ying faced down a final table that included three very experienced pros: Paul Volpe, Brian Altman, and Matt Wantman. Altman ran into a cooler early that sent him out in 6th place, but the other two were there at the end with Ying. They agreed on adjusted payouts based on their chip standings which brought the four-day Championship to a close.

The sixteen-day-long series was kicked off with the $500,000 Guaranteed Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em event. The prize pool came close to $800,000 and another young player claimed that title as well. First place and $128,359* went to 22-year-old Ohioan Frank Lagodich on his first-ever trip to Borgata. After getting heads-up with Borgata regular and poker pro Joe Cappuccio, Lagodich took the chip lead and the final two negotiated an adjusted payout with an even split of the remaining prize pool.

It was a good series for some of the “old school” Borgata tournament grinders as well. After several near misses, Bob Camano finally claimed his first Borgata title in Omaha/Stud High/Low Mix event. Andrew Klein booked his sixth Borgata win in the Old School NLH event, moving him into fifth place on the Most Wins at Borgata list. Howard Wolper waited until the final night of the series to make the money in Event 20, notching his 117th lifetime cash at Borgata, extending a record that’s going to be hard to beat.

The Ladies were once again in the spotlight, with two regulars claiming titles and setting records. BorgataPoker.com sponsored pro Katie Stone made the final six of the Deepest Stack NLH event and negotiated an adjusted payout giving her 1st place and $19,337*. This was her third Borgata title, putting her in a tie for first on the ‘Most Wins at Borgata by a Woman’ list. Until this series, Patricia Barsanti-Chou held this record. Just four days later, Anna Antimony won the Almighty Stack, coming out on top of a field of 1,073 runners to take the top prize of $91,586. This was also her third Borgata title, putting her in a three-way tie with Stone and Barsanti-Chou.

If there was a ‘Grind Until You Get There’ award, it would go to Carlos Matos for this BFPO series. He finished 5th in Event 9, the Deepest Stack, for $19,337*, then followed that up with a 3rd place finish in Event 15, the Saturday Series Deep Stack, for $14,432*. He finally got there and capped the series with a win in Event 19, the Deeper Stack, for $14,000* and his first Borgata Open trophy.

In total, more than $3.4 million was paid out in prize money in these 20 main events alone, not including satellites and secondary events, and 18 Borgata Fall Poker Open trophies found new homes. A complete list of main event winners is below.

The daily tournament schedule has resumed in the Poker Room, with brief interruptions for Holiday Tournaments on Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day. There is also a DeepStacks Challenge Series running December 26th – December 30th.

It’s never too early to make plans for the 2019 Winter Poker Open, which runs January 15th – February 1st, and returns to Borgata’s spacious Event Center venue. The series will be capped by the World Poker Tour Winter Poker Open Championship, January 27-31.

On behalf of Borgata Poker Staff and bloggers Tim Kelliher, Chris Murray, and myself, thank you to all the players who participated and make Borgata tournament poker great. And thank you to the staff for the best-run events on the East Coast.

Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the coming Holiday season!

The money bubble has burst here in Event 20 after a lengthy hand for hand. The final 27 players are now all in the money and guaranteed a minimum of $478 for their efforts.

One of the premiere poker destinations on the East Coast, the Borgata in Atlantic City, announced the expansion of their poker room is nearly complete. With this announcement, they also detailed their plans for a summer series of tournaments that will provide players who can't go west to the World Series to play some high dollar tournaments as well.

June 30th marks the debut of the new poker room at the Borgata and the expansion will make their poker room the largest in Atlantic City. The room will cover 21,500 square feet of the casino and feature 85 tables. Eighteen of these tables will be set aside for excusive 'high roller' play and nine more will be designated for usage in tournaments, with bleacher seating for spectators. The remaining fifty eight tables will be where the major cash game action takes place with the Borgata spreading Texas Hold 'Em, Omaha Hold 'Em, Seven Card Stud and their variations.

The opening of the poker room on June 30th will be marked by a special tournament. The $250 (plus $30 juice) tournament will guarantee a prize pool of $50,000 for the combatants and should be a hotly contested tournament. This event will lead up to a major poker tournament to truly indoctrinate the renovated Borgata poker room in style.

Beginning on July 5th, the Borgata Summer Poker Open will take place and, over the fifteen days of competition that is scheduled, there will be plenty of poker action for those not able to make it to Las Vegas for the World Series. There will be thirteen major tournaments on the schedule featuring all forms of poker and there will also be significant side action, second chance cash, super satellites and sit and go tournaments. It all will culminate on July 17th with the four day $5,000 Main Event, which will wrap up a significant amount of tournament action on July 20th.

While the Borgata was already a focal point of poker in Atlantic City, with this expansion of the poker room they should mark themselves as a premiere poker destination not only on the East Coast but in the United States as well. The addition of a major tournament during the run of the World Series is daring and hopefully will be met with a great turnout from the locals in Atlantic City and others on the East Coast.
