Borgata Poker Open events always drag big, but none has ever drawn quite as big as the $560 No-Limit Hold'em Deep Stack Kickoff event that ended Saturday at Borgata Winter Poker Open.
After six starting flights, a total of 5,512 entries had been logged, about 400 better than the biggest field Borgata had ever drawn, and a $2 million guaranteed prize pool had eclipsed $2.7 million.
When the dust settled, the final seven players agreed to a deal that saw each take home over $150,000 in prize money, with the biggest share of $216,155 going to Aristoteles Neto.
