Article cover

The tournament attracted a total of 232 entries, competing for shares of a guaranteed prizepool of $500,000. Among the rewards for successful players were two main premium envelopes worth $50,000 each and two worth $25,000.

Aaron Pinson entered the final day among the 24 participants from the lower third of the leaderboard. However, he delivered a fantastic performance throughout the day, and when it came to picking envelopes, he had the golden touch. Pinson managed to pull both of the main $50K bounties, and in the very end, snagged the last $25K reward, amassing an unbelievable $150,000 just from bounties.

In the final heads-up match, Pinson faced off against Matt Glantz. The players had similar stacks and quickly agreed to split the winnings evenly, securing $44,825 each.

They decided the trophy with a flip, where Pinson's hand of 9 s 3 d defeated Glantz's T d 6 h after the board revealed K d 9 h 9 c 6 d 4 c. Pinson walked away with nearly 40% of the tournament's total prizepool and secured his first title on Borgata's grounds.
