Day 1 Completed
The 2020 Borgata Spring Poker Open Online Series $1,060 buy-in Event #17 High: $75,000 GTD High Roller attracted 67 runners, and after nearly six hours of play it was ��Eages�� besting ��judiallin�� in heads-up play to win the title for $14,175.
��Eages�� actually began the heads-up match down in chips and got quite low before getting all in preflop with ten-six suited and flopping a flush. Not long after, he made kings and threes to double through ��judiallin,�� who had kings and deuces, and in the final hand of the tournament both players made trip queens but the ace kicker of ��Eages�� sealed the deal.
