The Return - A Borgata Championship Event
There was a blast from the past in the Borgata as Steve Dannenmann was spotted in the field on Day 1b.
Dannenmann is of course known by the poker world for his memorable run to the WSOP Main Event final table in 2005 and making it all the way to heads-up where he would ultimately finish runner-up to Joe Hachem.
Since his $4.2 million burst onto the scene score back in 2005, Dannemann has had some scattered results, many of them coming right here in Atlantic City.
The Maryland native will have to wait for his next cash though as he was seen leaving the room after being busted in the previous level.
