Event 18 Winner: Bonacci

$350 + $50 Big Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Franco Bonacci (Pittsburgh, PA) 
$23,191

With nearly 90% of the chips in play when heads up play began, it doesn't take long for Bonacci to defeat Brian Grogan heads up.  On the final hand, Grogan moves all in for his last 400k.

Blinds 20k/40k/4k

Bonacci: 7 7
Grogan: A♣ K♣

Flop: 3 6♠ 4 (Bonacci leads with pair of 7s)

Turn: 10(no change)

River: 5s (Bonacci straight)

The pair of 7s were good enough, but Bonacci hits a gutshot on the river for the 7 high straight.

"I ran exceptional and played slightly better than mediocre," Bonacci says wryly.

This is Bonacci's second Borgata trophy and he takes home $23,191 for the win.
