Borgata Event 4
Borgata Event 4

While PokerNews is live reporting this particular event, several others have taken place throughout the 2020 Borgata Spring Poker Open Online Series.

On Tuesday night, the $20 buy-in Event #4 Low: $2,000 GTD NLH Red Chip Bounty crushed its guarantee by attracting 422 players. That created a $7,596 prize pool with $5,486 of that going to the main prize pool and $2,110 to the bounty pool. Each elimination was worth a $5.00 red chip to the victor.

The top 45 finishers got paid including “Brusko59” (12th - $76.80), “lasillo1989” (20th - $49.37), “millertime4244” (27th - $38.40), “Steve_Brule” (31st - $32.91), “Jrsgirl322” (38th - $27.43), and “HBK27” (42nd - $27.43).

After more than four hours of play, it was “nigock” defeating “Due2hold1” in heads-up play to win the title and $979.53 first-place prize.

Straight Good for "JackDoyle102"

Play was in Level 3 with blinds of 250/500 and an ante of 40 when "Donkfish" raised to 1,000 in middle position. "Djp120388" called in the cutoff, as did "JackDoyle102" in the small blind to take action three ways to a flop of {6-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

"JackDoyle102" checked and "Donkfish" made a continuation-bet of 2,020. "Djp120388" folded and "JackDoyle102" called.

Action was then heads up as the turn fell {9-Diamonds} and both players checked, bringing the river {3-Hearts}. "JackDoyle102" bet 8,000, roughly a pot-sized bet, and "Donkfish" made the call.

"Jackdoyle102" showed {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} for a king-high straight and "Donkfish" mucked, resulting in "JackDoyle102" taking down the pot.

Yum Yum for "Allyoucaneat"

"Allyoucaneat" Wins With Aces Up
"Allyoucaneat" Wins With Aces Up

With Level 2 underway and blinds of 200/400 (60 ante), there was 6,425 in the pot on the river with a board of {10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Clubs}{5-Hearts} with three-way action between "RomansFinest" in the big blind, "Allyoucaneat," who was under the gun, and "Slapshot1085," who was on the button.

"RomansFinest" checked to "Allyoucaneat," who bet 3,212 and received a call from "Slapshot1085." "RomansFinest" check-raised to 11,242 and "Allyoucaneat" thought for a bit before making the call. "Slapshot1085" folded and the hand was taken to showdown.

"RomansFinest" showed {10-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for a flopped two pair, and "Allyoucaneat" showed {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a turned aces up, earning the pot for their correct river call.

With action early in Level 1 and blinds at 150/300 with an ante of 40, Ari "spinach_kale" Engel is among those getting involved from the beginning.
