Michael Borovetz Making Another Deep Run Here in a WSOP $1,500 Event

After a 17th place exit last year in Event #38, a $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em tournament, Michael Borovetz was convinced that he could improve on that impressive showing. A full year of grinding the national poker circuit later, including a runner-up finish in the $1,000 Borgata Deep Stack Double Play Open in Atlantic City, Borovetz has returned to the Rio to prove to the world what he always knew to be true.
With just 27 players left, and sitting on an average stack, Borovetz is in hot pursuit of his personal dream: to win here at the World Series of Poker and validate his decision to pursue poker on a semi-professional level.
Borovetz has been seated to the direct left of online phenom David "Bakes" Baker, and while this may have intimidated the average amateur, Borovetz told us that his position has actually made decisions easier.
Just as every WSOP produces incredible stories of lucky players cashing in on their first big buy-in tournament, poker's premier series also provides a venue for grinders like Borovetz to showcase their skills on the game's grand stage.
