Dan Corrar claimed the title of first-place finisher here at Event 16: $500 Deep Stack Pot-Limit Omaha High Re-Entry as part of a four-way chop in the wee hours at the Borgata Winter Poker Open.

A total of 98 runners entered the tournament, creating a prize pool of $42,777. With blinds escalating to 15,000-30,000 and just 2.3 million chips in play, combined with the volatile nature of PLO, the players decided to reach an agreeable distribution of the prize money rather than risk flipping coins for the largest pay jumps of the tournament. Matt Forrest, Brad Altman and Joe Altomonte were the other players claiming the most lucrative prizes.

Corrar said the trophy means more to him than any amount of money, as he can share it with his nine children.

"I dedicate this to my beautiful nine children and my amazing butterfly," Corrar said.
