The 2020 Borgata Winter Poker Open has now given away another trophy, this time in Event #7: $340 Seniors and it was none other than Faisal Siddiqui taking it home, along with the lion's share of an adjusted payout deal worth $10,500.
A total of 184 entries were gathered for this event and after just 12 hours of play, only six players remained. The final six took to a discussion and decided quickly on an adjusted payout that sent the largest piece to well-known Siddiqui as he had an overwhelming chip lead at the time.
