Event 19 Winner: Phung

$200 + $30 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Cuong Phung (Atlantic City, NJ)
 $33,573

After getting a much needed double up, Phung wins his second Borgata title by defeating Pofuk Ying heads up.

Blinds 100k/200k/30k ante 

All in preflop

Phung (9.4 million): A 9♠
Ying (9.1 million): A 3

Flop: 9 6♠ 10(pair of 9s for Phung)

Turn: 5♣

River: 2

The pair of 9s wins the pot and the title as Phung has Pofuk covered by just 300k.

"I've been trying to play as many tournament as I can," says Phung, who is second in the Borgata Leaderboard contest.  "maybe this will get me on top."

Phung is a 32-year-old pro who works part-time for his family's nail salon business.  "My wife works very hard," he says about his wife Thuy, "so if I can make money it will help her take time off and we can have more family time together."

This win goes along with Phung's victory in the 2011 Borgata Poker Open when he won $17,000.

This time he adds $33,573 to his bankroll after entering the tournament four times.
