After a grueling heads up match that saw the lead go back and forth several times, Zo Karim is the champion of Event 16, the $330 Black-Chip Bounty Tournament, at the 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open. He takes home an impressive $11,183 and the trophy for his victory.
Karim joked afterwards that he is the best at heads up live tournament play. "I've never lost when I've gotten heads up in a live tournament," he told us. He recently won $68,000 two weeks ago in winning a 6-Max tournament down in Florida and now has over $825,000 in reported live tournament winnings over the course of his poker career.
The biggest hand of the night for Karim came when he was facing a deficit against eventual runner up Steve Goose and would hit a full house with 
to crack Goose's 
. He would then eliminate Goose a few moments later with 
against Goose's 
.
Karim outlasted a field of 206 entrants in this one-day no-limit hold'em tournament. The top 27 made the money with a 27th place finish being worth $360. They would make the money quickly and it was only once the final table was reached that things would slow down somewhat. Dan Heimiller would be another notable that would make the money and he would finish in 5th place for $2,398. Joining him at the final table was Tom McCormick who would be eliminated in 9th place for $799.
Others that would make the money included Tam Minh Nguyen (3rd - $3,797), Stan Annis (4th - $3,077), Donald Nester (12th - $520), Daniel Welsh (21st - $360), and Amber Merefield (26th - $360).
There is one last no-limit hold'em event scheduled during the Borgata Spring Poker Open and it will get underway later today at 11 am. It is a $230 Deep Stack tournament and we're expecting to have a great turnout. We'll be covering that along with Day 4 of the World Poker Tour Championship Event from start to finish.
