Event 25 Recap

$350 + $50 + $100 Black Chip Bounty NLH

NY Police Officer Robert Boyko (Yonkers, NY) fires a silver bullet into Kardon "Wolf" Chatman's tournament life and confiscates $20,271 for his first place Event 25 victory.

"I got lucky a few times but I played steady, played the people, and waited for my right moments" explained Boyko of how he just beat out a field of Borgata bounty hunters.

One key to the win came during a three-way all in at the final table. Robert took down a 1.5 million chip pot after his A-4 of diamonds spiked a diamond on the river for the nut-flush ousting 4-4 and 9-8 off. That hand sent 2012 PCA Main Event Champion, John Dibella to the showers for 3rd.

Kardon claimed he had a party to go to so kept shoving all-in pre-flop blind. His insanity worked until it didn't work. Boyko even got into the blind shove act and managed to beat Wolf at his own game.

Robert and wife Suzy are on vacation and said they love Borgata which they call their "home away from home".

This event played side by side to the 2012 Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship in the Borgata Event Center. 199 players battled for the $69,650 Total Buy-In including Joe Boatright, Anthony Caruso, Brian Ali, Lee Kirsch, Gene Castro, and Ryan Eriquezzo.

WSOP bracelet winner Arkadiy Tsinis (Las Vegas, NV) cashed but just missed the final table.
Yorlan Millan flew in from Venezuela, collected six $100 bounty chips, and finished in 8th place for $2,027.

But once again the big winner was Robert Boyko who locked-up Event 25 to the tune of $20,271 along with the engraved trophy.

Event 25 Champion - Boyko

$350 + $50 + $100 Black Chip Bounty NLH

Robert Boyko (Yonkers, NY)

$20,271

Congratulations to New Rochelle Police Officer, Robert Boyko who just knocked out a player he called "crazy" in a blind-shove heads up match.

Robert Boyko locks up Event 25 for a $20,271 payday.

"Borgata is my home away from home" said an excited Boyko who shared the moment of victory with his wife Suzy who supported from the rail. "She was my cheerleader" said Robert.

Robert plays 8-10 times a month and is currently on a 2.5 week vacation.

Luck was on Robert's side two times at the final table in particular. He made a move with 6-7, was called by 8-8's and spiked an 8 on the river to complete a straight along with a monster scoop.

In another hand his A-Q ran down A-K once a Queen hit the flop.

As for the heads up insanity, Robert said he found redemption beating Kardon "Wolf" Chatman at his own game - a blind pre-flop shove fest.

This is Robert's biggest Borgata cash and he said he'll put the money to good use.

Robert Boyko finished in Place earning $20,271.

Suzy & Robert Boyko

Event 25: 2nd Place - Chatman

$350 + $50 + $100 Black Chip Bounty NLH

Kardon "Wolf" Chatman (Washington, D.C.)
$11,148

Kardon Chatman lead the way with two double knock-outs at the final table for a total of 9 bounties.

Things got a lot crazy during the heads up match. Kardon decided to stop looking at his cards and to just ship blind.

The first time he shipped blind, Robert Boyko looked at folded.

The very next hand he shipped blind again. This time Robert had A-9 and called.

Wolf tables 55 and wins on a board of 2-10-6-7-7.

"I'm sick to my stomach" said Robert.

Wolf starts to get addicted to the fun and excitement of the blind shove. He says, "who wants flip for ten thousand dollars" and announces all in again without looking. Robert looks and calls with A-5. Wolf tables A-5 and the two chop after an A and a 5 hit the board. Sick sick sick.

A couple hands later, still steaming at the insanity, Robert declares he's shipping blind - and Wolf happily calls blind.

Robert rolls over A-K and Wolf shows K-5. Turnabout is fair play as A-K holds on a J-Q-6-J-4 board.

The very next hand Robert looks at 99 and goes all-in. Wolf calls without looking but has K-Q.
99's hold and Wolf is down to his last 500,000.

I've never seen anything like it.

Wolf was actually ahead on his exit hand. Robert shipped with Q-3. Wolf called in the dark and flipped over a 3. Then he flipped a K.

Robert turned the miracle Queen for the tournament win.

Wolf said he had fun and had a party to go to.

The Mortgage Broker was the chip leader at dinner break, lost the lead, then got it back at the final table.

Karon Chatman finishes in 2nd Place earning $11,148.

Event 25: 3rd Place - Dibella

$350 + $50 + $100 Black Chip Bounty NLH

John Dibella (New Rochelle, NY)
$6,418

Three-way all in three handed! Definitely fireworks at this final table.

John Dibella gets his last 450,000 in holding 4-4, is called by Kardon "Wolf" Chatman's 8-9 and Robert Boyko's A-4 of diamonds.

Wolf hits a 9 on the flop and Boyko boinks a diamond on the river for the nut flush.

Robert takes down a 1.5 million pot collecting Dibella's last 450,000 and 700,000 from Wolfie.

Congratulations to John Dibella who a couple weeks ago won 1st place in the 2012 PCA main event. We're glad the first place he stopped after his huge win was Borgata.

Turns out Kyle Julius finished second to John and was also playing in the 2012 Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship Event.

Both John and Kyle were knocked out of the Championship but had a chance to talk about their time together at the PCA final table.

John Dibella finished in 3rd Place earning $6,418.

Event 25: 8th Place - Supsak

$350 + $50 + $100 Black Chip Bounty NLH

Josh Supsak (New York, NY)
$2,027

Josh was crippled and super steaming after he raised 30,000 and Robert Boyko shipped all in with 6-7 off. Josh snap called with 8-8 and was ahead.

He hit a third eight but it turned out to be disastrous because it gave Robert a straight.

Board: Q-4-2-5-8.

Supsak still had 500,000 but lost those chips a few orbits later when his K-K found three spades on the flop along with an ace.

Josh shipped but Kardon "Wolf" Chatman snap called with A-10.

No spades or king hit and Chatman knocked out two players.

Josh Supsak finished in 8th Place earning $2,027.

Congratulations to our final table of ten players.

Seat - 1 sits John Dibella who two weeks ago won the 2012 PCA championship for $1,775,000.

John says the reality of the win still hasn't fully sunk in. He wishes he could have taken down the Championship Event but will settle for Event 25.

Perhaps Barbara Rogers in S-10 will want to interview John. Barbara works for Poker Player Newspaper.

Blinds are 5000 / 1000.
