This Week in Tournament Poker: September 12-18, 2010 0001

With all eyes set on London this past week with the 2010 World Series of Poker Europe running, there isn��t much to be said about the rest of the poker world. Even with everyone focusing on the events there, plenty of poker is being played elsewhere.

First, we��ll take a look at the recent Heartland Poker Tour event that wrapped up in Black Hawk, Colorado. A field of 402 players took to the felt for a buy-in worth $1,500. The winner was an entrepreneur from Minnesota, Mark Dunbar. He took home $180,100 for his win.

Over in Marrakech, Morocco, the Marrakech Poker Open was held. It attracted 71 players to the tournament for a buy-in worth 50,000 MAD. That��s roughly USD $6,000 in case you��re wondering and Anthony Picault was the victor, taking home 957,440 MAD, or about $110,000. That��s not a bad score at all and is the largest of Picault��s career.

Moving action back over to the United States, the 2010 Borgata Poker Open is still running and has put up some amazing numbers as always the Borgata does on the East Coast. There are 21 events slated on the schedule and we already talked about opening deepstack event last time around. This time, we��ll focus on the four big buy-in events outside of the Main Event.

In the first $1,000 No-Limit Hold��em, Kevin Calenzo beat out notable professional Will ��The Thrill�� Failla to take home nearly $80,000. The $2,000 Heads-Up event drew 64 entries and the winner of that was Robert McLaughlin from Washington, DC. McLaughlin is a regular on the tournament poker scene, especially in events on the East Coast. Christian Harder and Jack Schanbacher also made the money in this event. Josh Brikis was the winner of the massive $1,500 No-Limit Hold��em event. He won just shy of $120,000 and conquered a final table that included bracelet winner Shawn Busse. Last, but not least, the $1,000 No-Limit Hold��em event was won by Daniel Spirer. He beat New York youngster Steven Levy heads up and claimed the $80,665 first-place prize. Here are all the results.
