There was a big turnout for the 2019 Borgata Fall Poker Open Event #21: Big Wednesday NLH with 356 entries creating a prize pool of over $89,000.

There were just five players remaining in the late night hours in the Signature Room. The stacks were getting shallow and they began to discuss an adjusted payout deal.

The stacks were counted down and the players struck a deal and shook hands to end the tournament.

Tom Coan, who was the chip leader at the time of the deal, took first place earning $14,961 for his efforts.

Carlos Figueroa-Fernandez finished as the second-place finisher earning $11,551 and Ramy Giurguis took home $10,492 and his second Borgata Poker Open trophy.
