The final three players of Event 3: $560 Deep-Stack NLHE Reentry — Tom Dobrilovic, Anthony Sivolella, and Warren Wiggins — opted to end the tournament prematurely and crown Dobrilovic the champion.
Dobrilovic earned $39,650 for his efforts along with the coveted Borgata Spring Poker Open trophy. This is his largest cash since January of 2013, where he won a black-chip bounty event during the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open for $67,546. The New York native has over $1 million in career live tournament earnings, and two victories here at Borgata.
Dobrilovic positioned himself for the win with two key knockouts at the final table. He eliminated Henry Lopez in 10th place with the 
against the 
, and roughly three hours later he busted Maggie Morris with the 
once again. Morris was at risk with the 
, but couldn't crack the dominant pair.
Warren Wiggins took third place, earning $13,454, and Anthony Sivolella was second for $23,367. Wiggins only had $41,618 in earnings prior to this tournament, and Sivolella only $67,543.
Day 2 of Event 3 began with 27 players after the bubble burst on the final hand of Day 1, and the eliminations were fast and furious. In less than an hour, a third of the field hit the rail, including the chip leader entering the day; John Tavss. After losing a few pots, he was all in and at risk with the 
against Dobrilovic's 
. The pocket rockets held up, and Tavss was eliminated.
The road from 18 to 10 was equally short and sweet. Bernard Liberati attempted a river bluff-shove against James Gettinger, that was unsuccessful, and the final table was set when Timothy Pirraglia lost a very unconventional race against Morris.
The final table was filled with fireworks, including monster eliminations in ninth and sixth place. Both Nick Gandhi and Joe Stiers were among the leaders when they were bounced by flopped sets — Stiers flopped an underset of his own — and were left to think "What if?"
Congratulations to Dobrilovic, Sivolella, and Wiggins for their deep runs, and especially to Dobrilovic for taking home the trophy. Be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews for continous coverage of the 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open.
