Final 14 Return for Day 2 of BWPO $5,100 High Roller at Noon
The 2020 Borgata Winter Poker Open will be crowning a champion today in Event #22: $5,100 High Roller and that individual will be taking home $100,892 for first along with a Borgata trophy. Play will kick off at noon and there will be 14 runners returning to battle it out.
Leading the way into the final day is Anton Wigg as the only player to have a seven-figure stack, starting with 1,200,000. Closest behind him on the totem pole is Jonathan Dokler with 918,000 after a roller coaster Day 1 that saw him catapult up to the top shortly after sitting down, fall during the mid-stages but pick it up again during the later part of the night where he was leading for a short period of time until Wigg busted Mike Meskin with a flush in what was the biggest pot of the night.
Robert Brobyn sits third on the leader board after a day that was almost on cruise control as he took down a few early pots, finding no real hiccups on route to bagging a top three stack for Day 2. A top-three finish today will give him a new personal best cash, with a win almost doubling his live career earnings and he is well in a position to accomplish those feats.
The day should start out exactly how it finished, with lots of action as the players are now on the cusp of finding a min-cash as they are just three eliminations away from the money. Top eleven will be locking up at least $9,336 for their efforts but all will be gunning for that six-figure prize money that awaits first place.
