After six total days of exciting action at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, the World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open has come to a close. Day 5 (there were two Day 1 starting flights) began with six players all vying for the title and a grand prize of $922k, spoils that would ultimately go to Bobby Oboodi after just 138 hands.

The first elimination went to Ricky Hale, who entered the day in 5th place. Hale pushed all-in against Oboodi with A-10 offsuit, and a 10 on the flop enhanced his chances of victory. Oboodi was holding A-K suited, however, and the turn brought a K and the win for Oboodi. Hale received $186k for his 6th place finish.

Oboodi was responsible for the second elimination as well. Oboodi held K-K on the 67th hand against Darren Elias’s J-J. The all-red board provided no help to either player and Elias left almost $231k richer.

The trend continued. Fred Goldberg pushed all-in with 10-9, hoping to capitalize on the 9-7-6 board. Oboodi called with A-9 suited, giving him the top pair and a better kicker. Both the turn and the river fell dead, sending Goldberg to the rail with $281k.

Dan Buzgon was at the receiving end of the third-place elimination. Jin Hwang went to showdown with A-K suited against Buzgon’s 7-7. Hwang managed to finish a Broadway straight on the flop and the turn, leaving Buzgon with $335k.

On the final hand, Oboodi held Q-2 suited while Hwang brought K-J offsuit. Oboodi was four to a flush after the flop, a hand that he completed on the river. Hwang left in second place with $554k.
