Jeremiah Budin Wins the Last BFPO Trophy of the Series and $17,023
Event #23 $230 Deepest Stack NLH was the last event of the 2019 Borgata Fall Poker Open. It was a long day of tournament poker that came to an end in the early morning hours when a winner emerged from the 325-entry field.
Jeremiah Budin was the last man standing taking home $17,023 and his first BFPO trophy. Budin earned the nickname "The Terminator" from his tablemate Carlos Matos after catching fire in the late stages of the tournament.
Budin entered the final table with the chip lead and held strong near the top of the chip counts for much of the night. He entered heads-up play with nearly a 2:1 chip deficit but scooped the first few pots and he was off and running.
In the last hand of play, Walter Sarmiento moved all in holding and was snapped off by the of Budin. The two players shook hands and Budin posed for the last winner's photo of the series.
This concludes all of the PokerNews Borgata Fall Poker Open coverage and we'll see all of the players, dealers, and staff again in January when the Borgata Winter Poker Open kicks off January 14.
