PPI Perspective

Borgata Winter Poker Open

The 2012 Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship hits day 4 as players position themselves for the Final Table. With 27 players remaining, PPI (Poker Players International) Pros represent more than 10% of the remaining field.

Dave" Coldstone" Inselberg has had a solid BWO series with multiple cashes and big event final table experience (via the 2010 Foxwoods WPT Championship where he came in 2nd place for over $300k).

Steve Dannenmann, the 2005 WSOP Main Event runner-up, who cashed in that event for over $4.25 million

Charlie Townsend, who has had a long and successful poker career, rounds out the three remaining PPI Players, who coincidentally will all start at the same table when play resumes today.

Both Larry Gold and Matt Brady of PPI also cashed in the featured Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship event.

We anticipate an exciting final two days here at the BWO. Coming off this record-setting series, poker players from around the world are already making their plans for future Borgata poker events.

Good luck to all still in the Championship Event!
