Event 12: James Morgan - 1st Place

$170 + $30 Big Stack NL (2 Re-Entry)

James Morgan - 1st Place - $36,731

James Morgan (Buffalo, NY) is your Event 12 Champion.

He went from 220,000 to 3 million chips in two key orbits culminating with his QQ cracking opponent's pocket Aces.

Morgan came incredibly close to not re-buying after, as he put it, "playing like a moron" early. Playing on only 2 hours of sleep, after busting out, he stood in the re-buy line and his Borgata card failed to register. He threw in the towel then found out his wife Stephanie was still playing in the tournament. With nothing else to do, he decided to go ahead with the re-buy and the rest is history.

This was his first ever Borgata tournament. Stephanie and James drove down just to play this tournament then will head home. "They don't have affordable buy-ins like this where I'm from" said James whose small investment paid dividends to the tune of $36,731.
