2018 WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Champion Eric Afriat

Last night after nearly four hours of heads-up play, Erif Afriat defeated Justin Zaki to win the $3 Million Guaranteed World Poker Tour Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship to claim his second WPT title, earning more than $651,000.  ($15,000 is withheld for entry in the Season-Ending WPT Tournament of Champions in May.)

Afriat overcame a 2:1 chip deficit to take the lead, then the chips swung the other way and at one point he was down 4:1 in chips.  He continued to battle back until he had all the chips and the win.  Zaki earned more than $434,000 for his 2nd place finish.

This final table also included 2015 WSOP Main Event Winner Joe McKeehen, for the second year in a row. And for the second year in a row, he finished 4th.

James Roberts – BWPO Kickoff Event Winner

The WPO series began with a $2 Million Guaranteed Deep Stack Kickoff event which drew more than 4,500 entrants.  At the end, it was James Roberts who hoisted the Borgata trophy.  The recent retiree earned $378,391 after battling his way through a star-studded final table.

More than $10 million was paid out in prize money in these 23 main events alone, not including satellites and secondary events.  A complete list of main event winners is below.

Event 6: Good Plays, Sennon Still Ahead

POSTED BY: cmurray

|CATEGORY: 2018, Event 6

$300+$40 Seniors Deep Stack NLH

Level 19: Blinds 5000/10000/1000
Entrants: 183
Players Remaining: 14
Average Chips: 196,000

Peter Sennon on 1 remains in the lead with about 400,000.

James Moore, WSOP Super Senior expert, just played a pot with Jim Boyd. Presented with a capped range on the turn, Moore just moved all in and took it down. So that’s how the legend does it.

Moore takes on Boyd.

Henry Bumble knows when to pull the trigger as well. On 1, he just three bet shoved over a wide button range from Santos, and took it down. Key pot for Bumble, who has been up and down, and Santos has been sliding.

Bumble brings the heat against the aggressive Santos, left.

Moore chipped up, but then added, getting it in bad with vs Schuman’s jacks, but he rivered the four card straight and now is big stacked at 250,000.
