Wenhao Ying is a 24-year-old grad student who recorded his first tournament cash just over 2 years ago. He’s mostly self-taught, learning the game by watching training videos online. Those videos must be very good because he held the chip lead most of Day 3 and went wire-to-wire here on Day 4.

He warmed up in the SixMax first, finishing 5th for $8,420, against some of the best players in the game. He did the same at this final table, up against some of the best and he held his own.

For his efforts in this event, he will collect $200,000* and take home his first Borgata Open trophy. This is his first reported tournament win, but certainly won’t be his last!

Matt Wantman entered the day 2nd in chips and that’s where he finished. For 2nd place he’ll collect $172,449, making this his new best live cash, pushing his career earnings over $1.33 million.

Hopefully this will help erase the memory of his early exit from the 2016 WPT BWPO Championship final table.

While Dzurenda was issuing felt on 10, Brad Russo has not been idle, either.

The 2018 Summer Poker Open wrapped up in the early hours of Saturday morning when Carlos Alvarado won the final event at about 6:30am, taking home more than $21,000. That’s after earning an even $100,000* for his runner-up finish in the $500,000 Guaranteed Almighty Stack. Alvarado was not the only player having a good summer.

2018 Summer Poker Open Championship winner Greg Nerenberg

Greg Nerenberg won the record-setting $1 Million Guaranteed Summer Poker Open Championship event and $365,062. The 627 entries in the Championship topped the numbers from last July and the final 63 players earned a piece of the $1,520,475 prize pool. The tournament drew some top poker pros including Brian Altman, Andy Frankenberg, David Paredes, Joe McKeehen, and four-time WPT champ Darren Elias.

Nerenberg was facing more than a two-to-one chip disadvantage at the start of heads-up play against Kane Kalas, who had been on a heater since the start of the final table. One double-up, however, reversed their positions and the match was over soon after. Kalas earned $205,264 for his second place finish. In an impressive performance, 2017 Borgata Poker Open Championship winner Guo Liang Chen made a repeat appearance at the Championship final table, finishing 6th for $69,182.

Gary Tavella – 1st Place – 2018 Borgata Summer Poker Open $1M GTD Kick-Off

The $1 Million Guaranteed Kick-Off event saw 2,201 runners build a prize pool in excess of $1.1 million and the final three players made a deal that resulted in chip leader Gary Tavella taking 1st place and $143,730*. This was the first Borgata title for the high-stakes cash game player.

The first Saturday Series event was also the Cabot Creamery “Put a Bad Beat On Hunger” charity tournament. They drew 349 total entries and raised $3,490 for the New Jersey Food Bank – Southern Branch. Larry Connor got 1st place, $18,468* and the Borgata Open trophy. Cabot Creamery provided two $3,500 2018 BPO Championship seats for the 1st and 2nd place finishers, so Connor and runner-up Carlos Figueroa will both be free-rolling the Championship in September.

1st Place, 15th Birthday Tournament of Championship – Chalie Hook

To celebrate their 15th Birthday, Borgata hosted a Tournament of Champions which was an invitation-only event open to winners of all 15 years of Championship events. The winner-take-all $25,000 championship was won by 2013 Summer Poker Open Champion Chalie Hook, who agreed to split the prize with the final three players. The final six also got seats in the Summer Open Championship event.
