Day 2 of the WPT Online Borgata Poker Open Powered by partypoker US Network comes to an end with BorgataPoker Team Pro Dan Buzgon (leinad) leading the final eight players into tomorrow night’s WPT Final Table.

This is the fifth WPT Final Table for Buzgon, including last December’s WPT Online Poker Open powered by partypoker US Network, but he is still looking for his first WPT title. Could this be the tournament where Buzgon finally adds his name to the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup?

Here are the final eight players with their chip counts:

1.  Dan Buzgon (leinad)  –  58.1 million  (58 bb)
2.  Orson Young (Borgatcha)  –  49.6 million  (50 bb)
3.  FitzroidPoo  –  45.2 million  (45 bb)
4.  betbetbet  –  42.9 million  (43 bb)
5.  justliberto  –  39.6 million  (40 bb)
6.  CNC_LY  –  27.6 million  (28 bb)
7.  Ryan Hohner (TheSims)  –  25.8 million  (26 bb)
8.  DoURespectWood  –  16.3 million  (16 bb)

And here are the remaining payouts at stake, rounded to the nearest dollar:

1st:  $195,748
2nd:  $135,930
3rd:  $102,933
4th:  $76,830
5th:  $61,070
6th:  $47,280
7th:  $34,475
8th:  $24,625

There were two other BorgataPoker Team Pros who started Day 2, and while Michael Gagliano (Gags30) got knocked out early, Katie Stone (KatieStone) survived the Money Bubble to finish in 35th place, earning $5,615.

The WPT Final Table begins tomorrow (Tuesday) at 7:00 pm EDT, and the action will be live-streamed on the WPT’s Twitch channel on a one-hour delay beginning at 8:00 pm EDT.

As you’d expect, we’ll also have updates right here, and they will be posted along with the WPT Live Stream to avoid spoilers. So return to WPT.com for continuing coverage of the WPT Online Borgata Poker Open Powered by partypoker US Network.
