Roy Winston Wins Borgata!!

[BDub1]

Amateur Roy Winston, Los Angeles, just took down the Main Event at Borgata and over 1.5 million, besting a field of 560. Roy is the new High Limit, No-Limit Host at the Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, and this is his 2nd major cash, having won over $330,000 for a 26th place finish at WSOP Main Event. Congratulations Roy!

Any idea if he bought in or won a seat? If it's the latter then he may have been the guy that busted me in the $1,000 super on Saturday night when he sucked out like a champ. I saw his pic on Cardplayer, looked a lot like him.

As far as I know, he bought in, but I couldn't be positive. He has $$$$ so he doesn't usually play the sats, and is planning on playing all of the WPT events, one way or the other. I believe he flew in Sarturday so it would have been tough to hit the sats after an all day of travel.

After following the action on the final table and the whole of the 4th day, there were suck outs after suck outs, by everyone. Skill may get you there, it is luck that will carry you through. You can't always dodge the 2 or 3 outer.

He won a seat in the $2000 Saturday's mega satellite. I was playing with him the majority of the satellite. I remember he commented to his friend that he had a good feeling for this tournament. I guess he was right on!

kind of strange considering the juice was only 3 points

No money was withheld for dealer tips, i tipped the dealers as well as the tourney directors seperately. Not sure what the top 2 guys did.

He also beat me HU in a $1k single table satellite. Seemed like a nice enough guy. Also, I'm pretty sure he was once married to poker beauty, Julie McQueen.

I noticed this and thought I would answer. I won a seat in the $2,000 mega and two single table sats.
