Tom Pomponio - 1st Place - $23,649At 5:45 AM there were only two players still competing heads-up in the Event Center and only one of them came out a Champion.
Borgata will have to pony up $23,649 to Tom Pomponio (Manahawkin, NJ) who just earned his largest cash tournament win to date.
He was adamant about playing this to the very end sensing he had the skills to outlast everyone else.
Tom turned 21 last June and on his birthday played in the World Series of Poker.
He's been playing poker on-line under his Father's account since he was 15 and on his own account since 18.
Tom attends Richard Stockton College and used to scrub dishes as a bus boy making only $30 a night - he's since quit his job, making poker his new profession. Skeptical at first, his parents are now proud supporters as their son just won 21,000 at the PCA 1-K heads-up and now his largest cash to date, another $23,649 from Borgata.
His image was very aggressive and it paid off.
Congratulations again to our Champion Tom Pomponio.
Look out for this kid...the future is bright and he's got some game.
