The $400 buy-in 2020 Borgata Spring Poker Open Online Series $100,000 GTD Main Event saw 346 entries generate a total prize pool of $126,290, and "TheKing411" reigned supreme above all to earn a prize of $28,604.70 for their efforts.
"TheKing411" took a commanding chip lead to the final table after bursting the final table bubble when their pocket kings knocked out "misterkk" in an all-in preflop situation against pocket tens. From there, they never looked back, earning four knockouts and meeting virtually no resistance on the trail to the title.

The Main Event attracted a full spectrum of familiar names, headlined by BorgataPoker.com Sponsored Pros Daniel "leinad" Buzgon and Michael "Gags30" Gagliano. Others seen in the field included Ari "spinach_kale" Engel, Jonathan "jetsfan411" Borenstein, and Ryan "TheSims" Hohner (34th place - $757.74).
In total, 36 players made it into the money, a feat which was reached one hour after the four-and-a-half-hour late registration period closed. The field was halved to 18 after another hour of play, and that number dropped to 10 shortly thereafter.
Play then lasted for nearly two full levels on the final table bubble before "TheKing411" claimed the chip lead when 10 turned to nine. "DaCoolerKing" and sri50k were the first two to exit, and seven-handed play went on for another two levels after that.
However, the rapid-fire eliminations of mj23style, IReadYrSoul, deerpathdave, rumpthumper, and Bluehaven within a level-and-a-half of each other quickly brought the tournament to heads-up play, where "TheKing411" made quick work of "Rennan23," winning the tournament in less than one level of play.
In Level 39 With Blinds of 100,000/200,000 and an ante of 25,000, "TheKing411" raised to 400,000 on the button and was three-bet to 1.2 million by "Rennan23" in the big blind. "TheKing411" called.
The flop fell 
and both players checked. The turn came 
and "Rennan23" checked again. "TheKing411" put out a bet and "Rennan23" check-raised all in. "TheKing411" immediately called.
"Rennan23": 
"TheKing411": 
"Rennan23" was drawing dead to the trips of "TheKing411" and hit a consolation 
on the river to finish with the second-best hand and take second place in the tournament, good for a payday of $20,206.40.
In Level 39 with blinds of 100,000/200,000 and an ante of 25,000, "TheKing411" is off to a fast start in the heads up match, having taken a three-to-one chip lead in the early stages.

The flop came 
and "Bluehaven" went all in for 6 million, roughly twice the size of the pot. "Rennan23" called.
"Bluehaven": 
"Rennan23":
"Bluehaven" found themselves in trouble for their tournament life, needing to hit either one of the three remaining kings or running hearts or Broadway cards. The turn removed the backdoor outs, leaving them just one shot left at staying alive. It did not come, as the river dropped
