The first of six starting flights in the 2019 Borgata Poker Open Event #10: $400 Almighty Stack NLH drew 346 entrants, but after 17 levels of play 74 remained. Leading the Flight A pack with 1.547 million was Spencer Champlin, who was fresh off cashing for $20K as a part of a four-way deal in Event #4: $400 Saturday Series Deepstack.
Others to bag big were Frank Funaro (1,317,000), Frank Lo (1,209,000), Matthew Mendez (1,136,000), and John McGuinness (991,000). They were joined by Josias Santos (986,000), Paul Freedman (671,000), Spencer Davies (543,000), Jimmy Lee (510,000), Bob Van Syckle (259,000), and John O’Neal (101,000).
