A Champion Will Be Crowned in WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship!
The final day of the WPT Borgata Poker Open $3,500 Championship is now upon us and all of the lights have been set up as the official final table of six gets set to battle it out for a WPT title, along with the immense $616,186 first-place cash prize.
Dave Farah sits in the driver's seat for the final day, having a considerable lead with his 14,325,000 in chips. Farah has cashed in live events dating back to 2008 and it was not until this past January that he really found his first breakthrough cash, right here in the Borgata.
Farah finished runner-up in the 2019 WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open $3,500 Championship, landing his biggest career cash for $485,611. He has done the incredible by reaching yet another WPT final table and is in an incredible position to improve on his previous personal best that occurred earlier this year.
One player coming into the Day 5 on the shorter side of things is Victor Ramdin, but what he lacks in chips he surely makes up for in experience. Ramdin is a WPT champion who has over 4.5 million in live career earnings, proving time and time again that he can play with the best in the business. Ramdin will be coming into the final day at the bottom of the barrel with his 3,575,000 stack, and will be someone to watch as he looks to spin up a stack with his exhilarating style of play.
