Get to Know BorgataPoker.com Sponsored Pro Daniel Buzgon

Daniel Buzgon
Daniel Buzgon

In early 2019, Daniel Buzgon signed on as a BorgataPoker.com Sponsored Pro – one of three alongside Michael “Gags” Gagliano and Katie Stone.

“It took a little bit of time to get all the paperwork and stuff like that,” Buzgon previously told PokerNews of becoming sponsored. “It was in December when it started but wasn’t official until just before the Borgata Winter series. Duties include mainly playing a lot online, promoting the site, and trying to get new players on the site.”

According to HendonMob, Buzgon has more than $2.3 million in lifetime live tournament earnings since 2007. He’s a four-time World Series of Poker Circuit ring winner has played for big money before. In 2001, he finished third in the WPT Borgata Poker Open for $335,433, and last year he finished fifth in the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event for $202,942. He also finished fourth in the 2012 WPT bestbet Jacksonville for $94,624.

Additionally, Buzgon is a beast online where he’s amassed more than $3.1 million in earnings, of which $435,457 has come on BorgataPoker.com where he plays under the screen name “leinad.”

Buzgon is in action here in the 2020 Borgata Spring Poker Open Online Series High Roller.

In the $5 buy-in Event #13 Low: $2,500 GTD 6-Max Rebuy, the guarantee was more than doubled as 368 entrants took to the virtual felt.

After seven and a half hours of play, “jchan281” beat “Plesiosaur88” in heads-up play to win the title and $1,187.91 first-place prize. The latter had to settle for second place and $686.20 in prize money.

"alwaysliquid" Sent to the Rail By "MrWheat"

In Level 15 (2,500/5,000) "alwaysliquid" got his stack of 133,290 all in preflop and found himself in dire straits against "MrWheat."

"alwaysliquid": {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
"MrWheat": {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

"MrWheat" held the superior pocket pair and he improved to a set on the {9-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Spades} flop. The {6-Spades} turn gave "alwaysliquid" a spade flush draw, but he missed as the {7-Clubs} bricked on the river.

"TheKing411" Crowns Gags30

In Level 16 (3,000/6,000), BorgataPoker.com Sponsored Pro Michael "Gags30" Gagliano moved all in under the gun for 38,700 and action folded around to "TheKing411," who called from the big blind.

"TheKing411": {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Michael Gagliano: {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Gagliano was way behind and failed to get lucky as the board ran out {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to lock it up for "TheKing411" on the turn. Gagliano will have two more levels to take advantage of the re-entry period if he so chooses.

Ari "spinach_kale" Engel Done and Dusted

Ari "spinach_kale" Engel moved all in for 29,020 from early position and "IReadYrSoul" isolated with a three-bet to 100,000 from the button. Both blinds got out of the way and the hands were turned up.

Ari "spinach_kale" Engel: {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
"IReadYrSoul": {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}

It was a flip but Engel needed to improve to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the board ran out {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.
