The day prior to hosting the World Poker Tour World Championship, Borgata in Atlantic City concluded the 2015 Borgata Spring Poker Open Main Event, a tournament that attracted 447 entries. After four days of intense play, Brian Lemke emerged victorious to capture the $276,949 first-place prize.
It wasn't the first time Lemke, who hails from Norristown, Pennsylvania, found success at Borgata. Back in 2012, he won the $560 no-limit hold'em reentry event at the 3rd Annual Borgata Spring Poker Open, a victory that awarded him $111,076.
