Event 1: Defending Champion?

$500 + $60 Big Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Ben Bianco (Franklin Square, NY) took down the first-ever Borgata Open two-starting-days Event 1 here last September during the 2012 Borgata Poker Open.

Ben Bianco & Dan Wach

That event generated 3,705 entries over the two day ones and a prize pool of over $1.8 million.  Benny collected $309,196 for his win in that event in a two-day event that had to be stretched to three days.

Benny is back to see if he can do it again.

Dan Wach (Boonton, NJ) was the runner up in that event, good for over $200,000.  He's also playing today, trying to improve on that second-place finish.


Table 301 alternates have been summoned.
