The World Poker Tour

Borgata Poker Open - Season 5 - Sep 19, 2006

Mark Newhouse joined the ranks of a select few who have acquired millionaire status by way of the World Poker Tour, surviving 539 of the world’s top pros to win the 2006 Borgata Poker Open. Entering the final table with the chip lead, a combination of solid play and good fortune allowed Newhouse to hold off his opponents and secure the title, landing him $1,519,020 for his efforts.

David Sklansky, long time professional and esteemed poker author, reached his first World Poker Tour final table, finishing 3rd, good for $419,040. Also reaching his first televised World Poker Tour final table was Chris McCormack, who has cashed three times on the tour, including a 7th place finish during season three at the World Poker Finals.

Chris Bell is also no stranger to the WPT. He finished 3rd at the Mirage Poker Showdown during season four and his 5th place finish at the Borgata brings his lifetime winnings on the WPT to $738,142. Anthony Argila and Blaise Ingoglia, both WPT rookies, finished 4th and 6th respectively.
