Another six-figure winner was Joseph Molitor, who bested a 2,837-entry field ($1,191,540 prize pool) to win Event #17: $500 Almighty Million for $103,140. Some others to claim titles were Mykhailo Lendel (Event #8: $1,250 Mirror Mystery Bounty for $60,057), Frank Brannan (Event #18: $1,140 PLO 8-Max Championship for $37,574), and Michael Lavin (Event #22: $1,140 6-Max Deep Stack Championship for $64,365).

Here’s a look at some of the other big winners from the 2024 BPO:

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).
