Jon Borenstein

Event 32 players can start thinking about how they want to spend their first break with it coming at the end of this level. No one has to worry about hitting the $200,000 because that is far in the rearview mirror. With 144 entries, the prize pool is up to $288,000 and climbing.

We found Jon Borenstein in the field for the first time this series. The WPT500 champion has a part in our history as a member of the first-ever $2,650 Big 4 final table back in 2015. More recently, he finished 13th out of 2,482 entries in our WPT Poker Showdown Championship (the biggest WPT Championship field ever).
