Event 3 Winner - Grove

$350 + $50 + $100 Black Chip Bounty NLH (Re-Entry)

 Chris Grove (Brooklyn Park, MD) 
$49,958

Even though the three remaining players got their fill on dinner break, they were hungry to get the tournament finished and they did.  In the end its Chris Grove (Brooklyn Park, MD) with all the chips to win Event 3 of the Borgata Poker Open, finishing just ahead of  George Leandrou (Glen Cove, NY) and Henry Bumble (New York, NY).

"It feels great," says Grove, "I've been waiting to get a win like this for awhile."  The 26 year old says he only got 4 bounties on his way to the win adding, "how does that even happen?"

Grove is a 26-year-old who plays poker full time, but doesn't consider himself a professional, but is serious about the game and an "aspiring pro."

This is Grove's largest career cash and first major win. He says there were a couple of times that he sucked out to stay alive in the tournament, but overall ran well and played better.
