By launchpoker, Aug 15, 2008 borgata atlantic city

When the recent Deep Stack Tournament at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City announced a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000, it drew nearly a thousand players. The 956 players that each paid $2000 + $150 to play meant a final payout of nearly two million, almost quadrupling the guarantee. New York poker player Anthony Bellino wound up taking the win and a first prize payout nearly equal to the initial guarantee prize pool for the entire event, $443,201. Big name poker pros like Ted Forrest and Steve Dannenmann were on hand as well.
