Event 6 Winner - Popolo

$200 + $30 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Blinds 150k/300k/40k ante

Sal Popolo (Brooklyn, NY) 
$44,495

Heads up only lasts a few hands between Sal Popolo and Reece Lightner who are all in preflop.

Popolo: AQ
Lightner: A6

The flop is 6 4 3 and Lightner is poised for double-up to extend the match. After a 7 on the turn, a Queen hits the river to give Popolo the winning pair of Queens to win the tournament.

"This is nice," says the Vietnam Vet who wins $44,495, "it's my biggest cash."

Popolo is a business owner who plays at Borgata, "as much as I can."  He'll head back to work this week and has plans to return for the Poker Fall Poker Open Championship Event.
