Event 12
Jackob Datashvili – 1st Place – 2019 BSPO Championship
The $1 Million Guaranteed 2019 Borgata Summer Poker Open Championship fielded 514 entrants and created a prize pool in excess of $1.2 million. The final table was Live Streamed on Twitch TV and Borgata’s Facebook page and the audience watched as Jackob Datashvili made the right reads and caught the cards when he needed them. He went from next-to-last in the final table chip counts to taking home the 2019 BSPO trophy and $276,129* for 1st Place.
Edwin Ortiz – 1st Place – $1M GTD BSPO Kick-Off
The series started off with a bang with the $1 Million Guaranteed $540+$60 Deep Stack Kick-Off, which saw 1,925 entrants try their luck in six starting flights over three days. At the final table, Edwin Ortiz held the chip lead when the final seven players opted to call it a day. He took 1st place, the trophy, and $105,000* in a seven-way adjusted payout.
Adam Reese took 1st Place in both the Deeper Stack and Almighty Stack NLH events.
Now another Open Series is in the books and 19 Borgata Summer Poker Open trophies have new homes. In fact, two of them went to the same home. Adam Reese etched his name in the record books when he won two main events during this series, the $260+$40 Deeper Stack NLH ($14,805) and the $400+$50 Almighty Stack NLH ($68,806*). The poker dealer from Pennsylvania may be considering a new career.
Ari Engel – 1st Place – Black Chip Bounty post-lim
After earning nine WSOP Circuit rings, Ari Engel finally won his first WSOP bracelet this summer in the $2,500 NLH event. Now just a month later, Engel has added a third Borgata title to his extensive poker resume. He won the $500+60+$100 Black Chip Bounty Deep Stack post-lim event, earning $16,881 and pushing his lifetime earnings close to $6.7 million.
John McGuinness and Eric Siegel both claimed their fourth Borgata titles during this series, joining a very short list of players who can claim that honor. All guarantees were covered and millions in prize money was paid out to hundreds of participants! A complete list of Main Event winners is below.

Level 1: Blinds 100/100
Today’s other new event is a one-day Super Survivor. The final ~10% of players will each earn $5,000. This will be just like Event 4 last week, which paid 14 players $5,000 each! There is also a $75,000 Guarantee on total buy-ins.
Players get 20,000 chips to start and levels 1-15 last 30 minutes. Levels 16+ will be 40 minutes long. Late registration and unlimited re-entries will be allowed until the start of level 9 (about 9:30pm).
This Survivor is always a favorite since players just have to survive the elimination of 90% of the field. It doesn’t matter if they get there with the chip lead or as the short-stack — everyone gets paid the same.
Last year this event drew 210 entrants. The final 20 players all collected $5,000.
Cards are in the air for the Super Survivor!
