2019 Borgata Fall Poker Open
Denise Pratt was the last woman remaining out of 3,570 entries in the $2 Million GTD 2017 Borgata Poker Open Kick-Off DeepStack NLH event. She eventually busted out in 28th place, earning $5,826.
Her lifetime earnings have topped $197,000 and her most recent reported cash was in this summer's WSOP Main Event, where she finished 624th of 8,569 runners for $22,190.
Today she's brought her Abstrakt Renegade Roller Fortnite action figure to guard her cards and chips. We'll see if he was the right choice from her action figure collection when they bag up chips at the end of Level 8.

The players will now be taking a 15-minute break.
Xiang "Alex" Lin has jumped out to an early chip lead, playing about 170,000 before the second break of the flight.
In just the last two years, Lin has posted nearly $100,000 in tournament earnings, including a win in the 2018 Borgata Summer Poker Open $300 Deepstack NLH event for $19,269.
He's got a tough table, though. He's seated with Jon Borenstein on his immediate left and Brian Altman a few seats further down.
Bruce Yamron and Jordan Ludwick are spending their time between hands discussing sports betting.
