The $5000 NLHE event wrapped yesterday at the Borgata Poker Open, and the newest member of Team PokerStars, Vanessa Rousso, claimed first place and $285,450. Also, if you've been reading this blog for any length of time you'll know that I am a big fan of Joe Sebok, so I was thrilled to see him finish in 5th place in this tournament. Final table finishers and their prize money were:

1 Vanessa Rousso $285,450
2 Doron Malinasky $151,375
3 Cliff Josephy $86,500
4 Hasan Habib $64,875
5 Joe Sebok $47,575
6 William Blanda $38,925
7 Jamie Ligator $30,275
8 Michael Appel $25,950
9 Paul McCaffrey $17,300

Speaking of Mr. Sebok, he is still alive and well in the World Poker Tour Championship Event which began today. For a full list of players still in the main event, as well as their chip counts, check out PokerWire.com.
