Jerry Payne (Centerville, OH)$24,382
After trailing Dennis Roitman to start heads up play, Payne flips the chips and takes the lead only to see it head back to Roitman on a double-up.
Roitman's pocket 10s hold against Payne's A K, sending 2.5 million to the eventual champion.
Payne has been a poker pro for more than 4 years and says, "this is the best I've played in a live event, including my run at the WSOP." He finished 42nd in 2010 knocking out Borgata regular Josh Brikis along the way.
"I didn't care about the money, I really wanted the win."
Payne is a former retail store manager who says he's been "engaged for awhile," and will be playing "all the events," during the rest of the Borgata Poker Open.
