Borgata The Return Mystery Bounty Event Ends With Nine-Way Deal

The Borgata Hotel Gambling Establishment & Health Spa in Atlantic City, NJ invited back tournament online poker players in the early days of 2023 with The Return Texas Hold’em Championship, a four-event celebration with greater than $4 million in assured prize money.

The first event on the routine was the $2,200 buy-in no-limit hold ’em mystery bounty occasion. The tournament attracted a large area of 1,361 access, developing a last reward pool of $2,670,340.

The last day of the competition was running for around 18 hours before a nine-way offer in between the entire last table brought the occasion to an uncommon verdict at 5:00 a.m. local time. The remaining 9 competitors made an ICM cut of the main prize swimming pool, which led to Sam Laskowitz protecting the title as well as the biggest payment of $146,609. This was the second-largest score ever before for the New York state citizen, routing just the $256,170 he gained as the runner-up in the 2022 Globe Series of Online poker Colossus occasion.

Anthony Maio took home $142,054 as the second-place finisher, while arm band victor Ryan Eriquezzo earned $132,093 for his third-place proving.

The final 9 also eventually agreed that each continuing to be gamer would certainly get one of the 9 bounties still up for grabs, which included a $250,000 grand prize bounty. The bounties would be reeled in a randomized order that was determined by high cards. The shortest pile at the table when the bargain was made belonged to Ryan Dodd. He was 2nd in line to pull a bounty and also managed to create the quarter-million dollar bounty.

Here is a look at the final table payouts from the main prize pool after the nine-way deal:
