Event #17 of the Borgata Poker was the $1,060 Purple Chip Bounty NLH. There were 232 total entries and Zach Gruneberg was the last man standing in the early morning hours.
Gruneberg will take home $31,502 and his second Borgata Poker Open trophy of the series. He previously won Event #3: $500 Black Chip Bounty for $56,073.
This is Gruneberg's third Borgata Poker Open title and he has now earned over $1,800,000 throughout his career.
"This is unreal, I don't know if anyone's ever won two bounties, especially in the same series," Gruneberg said with a smile as he posed for his winners photo.
He is certainly having a series to remember and he is off to get some rest before taking his seat in the BPO Championship.
