The Main Event of the Borgata Spring Poker Open Championship, with a buy-in of $2,700, attracted a total of 572 entries, pushing the prizepool to an impressive $1,372,800, easily surpassing the million-dollar guarantee.
The tournament culminated in a two-hour heads-up battle, during which Todd Lewis and William Klevitz struck a deal that guaranteed each of them at least $200,000. They played on for the remaining $15,450 and the trophy, which eventually went to Lewis when his Q h J c triumphed over Klevitz's T s T c on a board of A h 5 h Q c 8 h 4 s.
For Lewis, who returned to tournament poker after a break of more than a decade, this is a fairy-tale success, proving that in poker, nothing is impossible.
