The record-breaking World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open has finally come to a conclusion, and it was young Bobby Oboodi who was crowned the champion at the end. It was an overall exciting final table as players were wondering if Bobby Oboodi would have been able to keep his lead up to the end, and the impressive thing about it is that he did. Not only that, but he performed exceptionally well in the final table as well.
The Final Table
Bobby Oboodi started out as the chip leader in the final table of six and managed to keep things that way up until the end. The most impressive thing about the final table is that Oboodi, while maintaining his chip lead, even managed to eliminate four of his five opponents during play. The first one to get eliminated was the day’s short stack, player Ricky Hale. Right after two hours after Hale was sent down the rail by Oboodi, Darren Elias was then the second to go by Oboodi’s hands and another couple of hours later, Fred Goldberg was eliminated by, yet again, Bobby Oboodi. Bobby’s A and 9 hearts proved to be superior compared to Goldberg’s 10 diamond 9 clubs and help from the community cards did not arrive to save Goldberg. A few moments later, player Daniel Buzgon was eliminated by Jin Hwang, which started the heads up between the two remaining players, Hwang and Oboodi. At the heads up play, Oboodi managed to take down Hwang with in only 18 hands. At the 18th hand, Hwang eventually went all in, gambling his chips. Oboodi called and Hwang’s gamble did not pay off, which made Oboodi the WPT Borgata campion.
