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.
