Ryan Waddell (Downingtown, PA)
$10,693
"In the spring I played really well," says Waddell, who plays the game full time professionally. "This tournament I ran really well against a much tougher field and got lucky in a couple of spots."
Ryan Waddell defeats Ian Graham heads up to win the title, the trophy and the cash.
Final hand, blinds 20k/40k:
Waddell: A♠ 8♠ 8♦ 2♣
Graham: 7♣
6♦ 9♦7♠
Board: 3♣ 8♥ K♦ K♣
6♠
Waddell gets the scoop with A 2 for the low, and eights full of kings for the high to take the last of Graham's 200k.
Waddell earns $10,693 for the win, his second Borgata victory in this event after winning in April during the Borgata Spring Poker Open for nearly $10,000.
"In the spring I played really well," says Waddell, who plays the game full time professionally. "This tournament I ran really well against a much tougher field and got lucky in a couple of spots."
Waddell says he's going to take a few days off before deciding if he'll play in the WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship. "I told myself if I ship this I'm going to play main, but I don't want to think about it right now, we'll see."
