Event 12: 1st Place - Mock

$260 + $40 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Allen Mock (Manheim, PA)

$44,295

The final cards fell right around 5am Thursday morning, after 18 hours of poker.  Allen Mock had all 18.9 million chips in play.  For his win today, he'll take home $44,925 and the beautiful Borgata Summer Open Trophy.

Allen gets his practice playing bar tournaments back home.  This is his first ever reported tournament cash.  He came to Borgata for a mix of vacation and poker, but his time is up and he has to go back home.  He works for the US Postal Service, but is currently disabled due to ankle replacement surgery.  In his spare time, he collects old toys and trains.

Allen wanted to say Hi! to his kids back home, who he says will never believe he won this tournament and over $44,000.  If the cash doesn't convince them, he can show them the trophy.
