Ravinderjilt Anand wins the Borgata Winter Poker Open Event 1 with the first prize of $171,944.


Having played for less than 6 months and finding himself sitting in 1st place, I would say it will be hard to get Ravi away from the tournament circuit. This was his very first tournament ever. Not bad Ravi!

Billy wakes up with the A 4 and Ravi the Q 2 . The Ace holds tight and Billy can play another.


All in for the win???? Ravi shows the 8 8 and Billy the J 9 . Billy has outs. The board unfolds with the 6 6 T 2 5 and the 88 is golden.


Second goes to Billy Hill at the Borgata Winter poker open

OH my goodness gracious. Ravi rasied to 700K and Billy moved all in over the top of Ravi. Ravi couldnt wait to call and slammed his K K down for the show. Billy then slowly turned over his meager T T . The board rolled out the Q 4 A 7 9 and this hand leave Billy Hill naked with only 30K in front of him. He is not lookin' good at the Borgata Winter Poker open.

Ravi pitted his JJ against Anthony's 44 and came out on top. Anthony Hill, from Syracuse NY, takes down 3rd place and $52,920 at the Borgata Winter Poker open.

Take it up a level. We now have a 10K ante with 30K / 60K blinds at the Borgata Winter Poker Open.


Billy Hill is counting more chips. With the board showing the 9 8 5 , Ravi bets 250K out of the small blind. Billy moves all in. Ravi has to let another one go. Billy is eating away at Ravi's once huge stack.


The look of poker has changed on the final table. Anthony limped from the button, Billy pushed all in from the small blind, Ravi called immediately and Anthony jumped right in there too. We had a 3 way pot with 3 all ins. Drum roll please.


Anthony showed the K K , Ravi the A J and Billy the J 6 . Oopss.....a move gone wrong??? The board ironed out with the 5 7 4 A (causing Ravi to do a dance from hell) and filling in the river, the 2 . Chips are flying everywhere. Ravi is back to about 1.5 million and Anthony is looking at felt. What happened????
