Event 11 Winner: DeVivo

$260 + $40 Seniors No Limit Hold'em

 Sonny DeVivo (Binghamton, NY) 
$13,241

DeVivo says he's only been playing for two years and that this is his biggest poker accomplishment.

The key to DeVivo's win was taking down a 1.2 million chip pot against Nissim Chabi when his K 10 out kicked K 9 when both players had two pairs.

After the hand, DeVivo had 1.3 of the 2.1 million chips in play and used the big stack to control the rest of the action.


DeVivo is 68-years-old and works at a car dealership.



Sonny DeVivo takes home $13,241 and the Borgata trophy with his win.
