Donovan Dean Takes Down Main Event

Donovan DeanEvent #25: $3,500 Borgata Poker Open Main Event featured a $1.5 million guarantee, which it surpassed by attracting a field of 755 runners. That created a $2,340,500 prize pool and saw Alabama’s Donovan Dean come out on top to claim the replica Borgata trophy and $408,836 first-place prize, a new career-high score.

The win, which brought Dean’s lifetime tournament earnings up over $2.1 million according to the Hendon Mob, came a month after Dean took down the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Harrah’s Cherokee Main Event for $326,206.

Others to cash the tournament were Adel Jo (9th - $35,331), Samuel Taylor (11th - $27,369), Michael Rossitto (12th - $22,133), Jason Min (13th - $22,133), Kane Kalas (14th - $22,133), and Joe Gossweiler (15th - $22,133).
