Amnon Filippi Crowned Champion of Event 4 $500 PLO Hi/Lo
Level 20
: 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
After an undisclosed heads-up agreement between Vincent Firsching and Amnon Filippi, Filippi is the champion of Event 4 $500 PLO Hi/Lo. He earns $13,750 along with the trophy, while Fisching walks away with $7,464.
This is Filippi's first live tournament win since May of 2012, and the third of his career. The New York native has over $3 million in career tournament earnings.
Leonardo Palermo was in great position to capture the trophy for himself as the chip leader during three-handed play, but he lost back-to-back pots to Firsching and was eliminated by Filippi.
Filippi outlasted 89 opponents in this one-day pot-limit Omaha eight-or-better event at the 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open. The top nine finishers earned a minimum of $1,179, and the bubble boy was Jinglin Chen. Chen was down to less than a big blind when he finally committed his last few chips with a pair of deuces, and Firsching flopped a pair of threes. The turn and river were both insignificant, and Chen exited empty-handed.
There is one more pot-limit Omaha main event scheduled during the BSO; Event 8: $450 Big Stack Pot-Limit Omaha. Be sure to check back for updates from that and every Borgata Spring Poker Open Main Event right here on PokerNews.
