Das Finale der WPT Borgata Winter Open ist erreicht. An der amerikanischen Ostküste in Atlantic City spielten vergangene Nacht die besten 27 Spieler um die sechs Plätze am Final Table. Das Spielerfeld wurde dabei noch einmal kräftig durcheinander gewürfelt. Lediglich Stephen Song gelang es an Tag 4 des $3.500 Buy-In WPT-Turniers sich aus der Top 10 der Chipcounts einen der begehrten Plätze am Finaltisch zu sichern. Alle anderen Spieler räumten das Feld von hinten auf.
Einen absoluten Ausnahmetag erwischte Zach Gruneberg, der sich bis zum Ende des Tages einen gewaltigen Vorsprung herausspielen konnte. Das sechsköpfige Finale führt der US-Amerikaner mit 17,6 Millionen Chips an. Erst weit dahinter folgt Ex-WSOP Champ Joe Keehen mit knapp 6 Millionen Chips. Der einzige Spieler der weiß wie es sich anfühlt ein WPT Event zu gewinnen ist Eric Afriat. Mit nur 23 Big Blinds geht der ehemalige WPT-Sieger jedoch als Sechster in Chips in das Finale.
Alle sechs Finalisten treten heute im Finale um die $651.928 Siegprämie an.
