After 2 and a half hours of heads-up play, Russell Crane defeated Gary Wong to win the Borgata Fall Poker Open Championship Event.  On the final hand, Russell Crane shoved and was behind, drawing to a flush with one overcard.  He didn't have to wait long as his flush card hit the turn to give him the win and $361,747.  Russell also picked up his second Borgata Open trophy and BOTH are Championship trophies.  The only other player to hold two Borgata Championship titles is Bobby Oboodi.

Russell has been playing poker professionally for over eight years and travels the east coast and to Vegas for the WSOP.   He'll be back here at Borgata for the Winter Open in January to take a shot at another Championship title.
