$350 + $50 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
 

  Dean Chen (Ellenville, NY)

$17,620

Dean Chen's tournament comes to an end when he moves all in with K♠ 9♦ against Mike Dentale's A♦ 3♣.  Chen doesn't get any help and when Dentale hits the flop he wins the tournament with a pair of aces.

"I played pretty well," says the full time pro. "When the blinds get this high, the cards matter and I didn't hit anything."

This is Chen's second cash of the Borgata Spring Poker Open after his 15th place finish in Event 1 for $4,292.

Dean Chen's runner-up finish gets him another $17,620.
