Duties include mainly playing a lot online, promoting the site, and trying to get new players on the site.”

In 2001, he finished third in the WPT Borgata Poker Open for $335,433, and last year he finished fifth in the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event for $202,942. He also finished fourth in the 2012 WPT bestbet Jacksonville for $94,624.

Additionally, Buzgon is a beast online where he’s amassed more than $3.1 million in earnings, of which $435,457 has come on BorgataPoker.com where he plays under the screen name “leinad.”

Buzgonbagged for the Phased Main Event early in the series and is looking to put his big stack to good use with a deep run.
