According to updates from the event, Dentale scored his first final table knockout seven-handed. It happened in Level 30 (50,000/100,000/10,000) when Taylor Von Kreigenbergh open-shoved from the cutoff for 1.025 million and Dentale called from the big blind.

Von Kreigenbergh: 5?7?
Dentale: Q?Q?

Dentale woke up with a big hand, and it held after the board ran out a lackluster A?K?6?10?2?. Von Kreigenbergh took home $49,301 for his seventh-place finish.

After Sang Kim exited in sixth place, World Series of Poker bracelet winner Chris Tryba followed him out the door in fifth after his A?8? failed to improve against Dentale's A?J?. From there, Dentale worked his way through Scott Matte, Henry Lu, and Jason Paster on his way to winning the title.

Congratulations to Mike Dentale, the Borgata FPO Main Event champion for $336,331!
