Taleb Travels from Minnesota for First-Ever Visit to Borgata
Earlier this week, Ahmed Taleb, originally from Morocco but now residing in Minnesota, opted to hop a plane to Atlantic City for the very first time. Taleb is well-known throughout the Midwest and on the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT), but this is his maiden visit to Borgata.
Since 2017, Taleb has amassed more than $400,000 in tournament earnings, which includes a career-best $70,811 for finishing runner-up in the Venetian DeepStack Championship Poker Series Event #28: $1,100 Summer Kick Off back in 2018.
Other highlights on his young poker resumay include $54,089 for winning the 2017 MSPT Grand Falls $1,100 Main Event, placing second in a 2018 DeepStack Extravaganza $600 NLH tournament for $41,493, and then taking second in a $1,100 buy-in tournament at Venetian this past June for $40,774. In 2018, he also cashed in his first-ever World Series of Poker Main Event finishing 833rd for $18,340.
Only time will tell if Taleb can notch his first cash here at Borgata.
