Champ: 1st Place - Marji

$2,500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack NLH  

Melad Marji (Atlantic City, NJ)
$198,078

On the final hand, Melad Marji decided to call Michael Marder's 6-bet-shove for 4.155 million.

Melad had 4.34 million chips and would have had 185k left if he lost the hand (3 big blinds).

He didn't have to face that issue since his AQ out-ran pocket 7s to take down the tournament.

Melad Marji will collect $198,078 for the win, along with 2012 Borgata Summer Open Championship trophy.

This is Melad's first live tournament win and largest cash ever.  He's headed to Las Vegas next week to play in the WSOP Main Event!

Melad sends thanks to all his friends and family, and especially his Mom!
