The Main Event of the Borgata Poker Open gathered 1,189 participants. This event at $3,500 buy-in was marked by the participation of numerous current major players of poker such as David Sands, Paul Volpe, Cong Pham, Phil Laak, Scotty Nguyen, Will Failla, Jonathan Little, Aaron Massey or Jake Schwartz, and also by talented women players like Kara Scott and Vanessa Selbst to bring a glamorous touch to the competition. After a week of meeting, the final table was held during last week with the 6 survivors of the Day 4: David Randall, Vanessa Selbst, Jeremy Kottler, Cong Pham, Anthony Zinno and Eric Fields.

Runner-up of this poker tournament, the only woman of the final table, Vanessa Selbst, settled with $492,569 for a title that she just missed.
