Nicole RoweNicole Rowe is part of the Borgata family ever since her 2nd place finish in the 2009 Borgata Poker Open Ladies Event. It was a memorable story that picked up national attention, not only because of how she lost, but that she was preparing to undergo a double mastectomy.
You can read the full coverage here, and we're glad to report that Rowe is now a cancer survivor and glad to be back at Borgata. "I love it here," says Rowe, who's playing in the Deep Stack, skipping today's Ladies Event in the process.
Rowe had a rough go at the table when she lost half her stack with pocket queens and then busted when her A♣ J♠ missed every draw on a flop of K♣ Q♣ 9♣ to be knocked out by A♥ K♦.
"That's part of poker," she says, "There are more important things in life."
Rowe is cancer free, has check-ups every three months and feels good, especially when she's at Borgata.
