Event #9 Champion Todd Rodenborn

The 2020 Borgata Winter Poker Open has just witnessed another trophy head into the hands of a champion, as Todd Rodenborn secured a victory in Event #9: $230 Pot-Limit Omaha for $6,927.

Rodenborn has accumulated over $130,000 in live career earnings and has seen almost all of his success come right here at the Borgata. His largest cash took place here in 2012 when he placed second for $72,921. Although this cash is not his biggest, it is indeed his first recorded victory and with that, he takes home a shiny new Borgata trophy.

Rodenborn found a chip lead early at the final table and really had now hiccups en route to his victory but rounding out the top three to cash in this event were Franklin Moody (2nd - $3,873) and Joseph Bowles (3rd - $2,347). Both of which were just too out stacked by the likes of the eventual winner, losing in just a matter of hands once three-handed play began.

Break Time Chips
Break Time Chips

Event #9: $230 Pot-Limit Omaha start at 3 p.m local time at the Event Center in the Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa in Atlantic City. Last year’s event attracted 118 entries but the buy-in was a tad higher at $340 to create a prize pool of $35,400.

Tommy Tran was the one walking away with the win for $10,128 defeating Dennis Zollo heads-up. As this is the only PLO tournament in the festival, it is expected that the aficionados of the game will all show up to take their shot for the title and the beautiful BWPO trophy.

Players may enter or reenter an unlimited amount of times during the first 10 levels of the day and a 15-minute break has been scheduled after Level 4, 7, and 10. All levels have a duration of 30 minutes and will get 20,000 chips in their starting stack. The one-day event will crown a winner at the end of it all, and the PokerNews live reporting team will be there to bring you all the action from the floor later today.
