Champion - Sacks

$200 + $30 NL

Gil Sacks - $28,077

After a four-way free for all, Gil Sacks (Bala Cynwyd, NJ) takes down the first event of the Borgata Summer Poker Open. Sacks takes home the top prize of $28,077 after outlasting the field of 508 players.

"I played well, and my big hands held," says Gill who picked up pocket aces twice when the field was down to two tables. That, coupled with a set of 4s to crack aces, it adds up to a commanding chip lead and a BSO championship.
