Event 12: Summers Avoiding Winter

$170 + $30 Deep Stack Double Play NLH (2 Re-entry)

Summers Back at Borgata

Dennis Summers, Jr (Charlottesville, VA) wasn't planning on coming to the Borgata Winter Open (BWO) until Thursday, but snow in the forecast got him out of Virginia a day early. "Good excuse to travel," said Summers who has several Borgata big cashes over the last two years.

"I got here at Level 5 and-a-half," meaning he had 15 minutes to spare before registration closed in this event.

Summers was runner-up to Josh Brikis (Pittsburgh, PA) in the $1,500 event during the 2010 Poker Open good for $66,000. He also was sixth in the 2009 Summer Open Main Event earning him $62,000.

This $200 tournament is a good warm up for the weekend and the BWO Main Event which gets underway Sunday.
