Jon Borenstein

Flight A won the race to 400 entries with more than an hour remaining in late registration. A very nice start to the series and we expect even bigger numbers moving forward.

Jon Borenstein jumped in shortly before the first break and looking for another nice payday this summer. The Florida transplant has some nice scores here, including a seventh place finish in the inaugural $2,650 Big 4 Freeze-Out, and he earned his biggest payout earlier this summer.

Borenstein had three WSOP cashes before he decided to jump in the WPT500 Las Vegas tournament. The small buy-in/big prize pool tournament drew more than 3,500 entries and Borenstein was the last player sitting to get his picture taken with the trophy. He banked $230,000 for the win and that number pushed him to the edge of $1,000,000 earned for his career.
