Event 1 of the Borgata Spring Poker Open was the $600 NLH with a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. There was a massive field of 2,199 entries creating a prize pool of over $1,100,000.
After three long days of tournament poker Alex Rocha was the last man standing. Rocha entered Day 3 second in chips but it was anything but an easy road to victory.
He found himself short stacked at many points during the day but the seasoned pro kept his composure and battled back time after time. In the final hand of heads-up play Rocha’s 
held up against the 
of George Grabe to earn him the victory.
Rocha earns $180,610 and the Borgata Spring Poker Open and he also makes Borgata Poker history in the process. He is now the first multiple time Event 1 winner as he previously won this Event in the 2011 Borgata Winter Poker Open.
