Event 12 Winner - Gaziev

$500 + $60 Six-Max No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry) 

Blinds 50k/100k/10k ante 

Sardor Gaziev (North Brunswick, NJ)
$30,463

After getting multiple double-ups to stay alive, Sardor Gaziev defeats Richard Corley heads up to win the title and trophy at the Borgata Fall Poker Open.

Final hand:

Gaziev: K♣ 9♣
Corley: Q 9

Flop: K6♣ 5 (Gaziev pair of Kings)

Turn: 10♣ (Corely, gutshot straight draw for 3 outs; Gaziev flush draw)

River: 8

Gaziev's pair of Kings is best as he earns $30,463 for the win.

"It's tough to get one of these," says Gaziev while holding his first Borgata trophy.  "You need skill and a little luck, but I had a lot of luck when we were heads up."

Gaziev survived two all ins when the river bailed him out, once for a double-up, the second time in a chopped pot.

Gaziev says he plays poker "occasionally" and this is one of the highlights of his career.  It's his 9th Borgata cash and third final table to push his career earnings to more than $150,000.
