Borgata WPO Champ in Action
Level 1
: 100/100, 0 ante
Chris Leong won the 2016 Winter Poker Open Championship here at Borgata, coming out on top of a field of 1,171 runners in the $3,500 event, earning $816,246.
It was a breakthrough for the long-time tournament grinder, who had been booking cashes since 2010, including two circuit rings and a Borgata title, but had yet to break through the six-figure barrier. In fact, prior to his big win here, his best live cash was 'only' $66,171.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Leong has gone on to add three more WSOP Circuit rings to his collection and he's back on the felt today, hoping to grind his way to another Borgata title.
