Level 3: Blinds 100/200/200 BB Ante

Ragavan 'Rags' Thiagarajah opened his poker resume just over a decade ago with a cash at the 2009 World Series of Poker. Following that he returned home to New Jersey and began padding that resume with cashes here at Borgata.

During the 2010 Spring Poker Open, he booked his first tournament win in the $400 NLH event, earning $20,600. Although that remains his only reported win, he's come close a couple of times. During the 2012 Summer Open, he finished runner-up in the $340 Big Stack NLH event for $14,448. Then three years ago during the Fall Open in the $450 Almighty Stack NLH event he finished runner-up again, this time booking his best live cash of $57,705.

Over the years that followed he's amassed more than $268,000 in tournament earnings and could add another $5,000 to that today.
