Hartshorn Hunting For Another Win

Kaelaine Minton

It's been three years since Travis Hartshorn won the 2016 Borgata Fall Poker Open $2,700 Championship NLH event, earning $302,978 and his first Borgata Open trophy.

At the time, he was predominantly a cash game player, but caught the tournament bug. Since then, he's cashed a handful of times at Borgata with a couple of final table appearances. The first was in the 2017 Spring Poker Open $1,090 SixMax NLH (6th for $9,816) and the second was this same $300 Deepest Stack NLH event in the 2019 Summer Poker Open , where he finished 5th for $12,380).

Hartshorn is still in the hunt for a return to the winners circle here at Borgata

Flight B is already in Level 2, Blinds 100/100 with 100 BB Ante, and the crowd is building in the Poker Room with familiar faces and folks trying again after firing Flight A.

Rob Saladin is one of the players to give up on Flight A and try his luck again here in Flight B. They'll be playing 16 levels, so survivors will be bagging up at about 2am.

Player	Chips	Progress
Rob Saladin	40,000
Larry Gold	40,000
Bob Santilli	40,000
Ragavan Thiagarajah	40,000
