“Eages” Wins Borgata Spring Poker Open Online Series High Roller ($24,375)
The 2020 Borgata Spring Poker Open Online Series $1,060 buy-in Event #17 High: $75,000 GTD High Roller attracted 67 runners, and after nearly six hours of play it was “Eages” besting “judiallin” in heads-up play to win the title for $14,175.
“Eages” actually began the heads-up match down in chips and got quite low before getting all in preflop with ten-six suited and flopping a flush. Not long after, he made kings and threes to double through “judiallin,” who had kings and deuces, and in the final hand of the tournament both players made trip queens but the ace kicker of “Eages” sealed the deal.
