Event 15: 1st Place - Whyte

$500 + $60 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Collin Whyte (Brooklyn, NY)

$25,027

When the final hand was played, Collin Whyte had all 2.5 million chips in play.  For his victory in this two day event, he earned $25,027 and his first Borgata Open trophy.

Collin has a couple of small cashes here at Borgata before today, but this is his first win and biggest cash on record ("so far" he says with confidence).  He's a regular in the $10/$25 No Limit Hold'em cash games back "in the city", that being New York City/Brooklyn. 

Thanks to his poker winnings, he's opened his own restaurant, "Brooklyn Wings" that is so successful, he's looking to open a second location.  They make "everything from Amazon Garlic to Asian Fusion" wings.
