Theodore Goldbergh on Day 1b of the 2014 WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event
Theodore Goldbergh on Day 1b of the 2014 WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event

When we last saw Theodore Goldbergh - or Ted as we came to know him - the Manhattan-based litigator was suffering a brutal bead to end his run the series' first event.

In hindsight, with that event being suspended the following day, and cancelled one day after that, Goldbergh's elimination proved to be a blessing in disguise. Freed from the hassle of dealing with one of the more remarkable bad beats suffered by players like Nick Guagenti and Allard Broedelet - each of whom built big stacks only to fall into limbo with the cancellation - Goldbergh is able to focus fully on taking a shot in today's WPT Main Event Championship.

We covered Goldbergh's history here at the Borgata in a recent entry to our ongoing Local Spotlight series, but after winning the first tournament held in the Borgata's poker room back in 2006, he knows his way around the felt here to be sure.

Goldbergh is currently sitting comfortably with a little more than the starting stack, and we'll let you know if he starts to make a push toward his second Day 2 appearance of the series.
