Time to Crown a Champion
Hello and welcome back to Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa for the final table of the 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open Championship Event. Of the 414 entries only 10 players remain, all of whom would like to take home the trophy and the first-place prize of $256,508.
In pole position is Philadelphia's Chalie Hook, who enters the final table with over 2.5 million chips. Hook is no stranger to success at Borgata - he won the 2013 Summer Poker Open Championship Event for $198,186.
The only other player at the final table with over two million chips is Laurence Wolf. Wolf won a $500 buy-in event during the 2007 Borgata Winter Poker Open, earning $63,275.
Of the remaining eight players, three others - Jake Toole, Paul Spitzberg, and Abraham Korotki - have over a million chips, while the other five players are all in six figures. Robson Barbosa has the shortest stack (185,000/11.5 big blinds), and will be looking to spin it up once the cards are in the air.
The final table is set to start in a few minutes, so be sure to stay tuned for all of the action right here on PokerNews!
