Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
Event #16 of the Borgata Poker Open was the $3,150 Heads-Up NLH, which saw 51 players vie for the BPO trophy. After several rounds, it was Mike Marder finishing as the last man standing to capture a $59,362 first-place prize and his third BPO trophy. He has now earned over$1.3 million throughout his tournament career.
The New Jersey pro made short work of his first few opponents on his home turf and faced off with Ian O'Hara in the final round.
"I picked some good spots and also feel like I ran good in the final match," Marder said.
Marder cruised through the first match of the finals in no time but things didn't come so easy in the second. The two players battled it for nearly an hour until Marder eventually came out on top.
