Before a single hand was dealt in heads-up play Macri and Everton Taylor struck a deal and Macri took home $50,000 along with the Borgata Winter Poker Open trophy.

Mike McGuinness
Mike McGuinness raised to 150 from early position and the player on the button re-raised to 1,000. The small blind called and McGuinness made the call. They went three handed to the 
flop and the small blind checked to McGuinness who tossed out a bet of 1,000.
The button quickly folded and the small blind check-raised to 7,000. McGuinness wasted no time moving all in for about 35,000 and the small blind instantly fired his hand into the muck.
McGuinness turned over his 
for a flopped straight and he is off to a fast start with about 45,000 here in the early levels.
Event 1 of the Borgata Deepstacks Challenge is now underway and the Poker Room is filling up fast. This event is a $100+$20 buy in with a $20,000 guaranteed prize pool.
