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.

*Indicates Adjusted Payout

Make plans now to join us for the World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open, September 3rd – 20th.  Until then, check out the Summer Heater, running August 12-17, and the next DeepStacks Challenge Series, running August 19-25.

This concludes our coverage of the 2019 Borgata Summer Poker Open!  On behalf of the Borgata Poker family and our blog team, @Kaelaine, @TKBluffs, @AlCantHang, & @SandBarbour, Thank You!
