The 2024 Borgata Spring Poker Open (BSPO) in Atlantic City concluded this week following its two week-run. The series featured over two dozen events and more than $4 million in guaranteed prizes. The key highlight of the series was the $2,700 buy-in No Limit Hold’em Main Event that saw Florida’s Joel Deutsch topping the 706-player field to win the coveted Borgata trophy and $347,224. This was the largest score for the American pro surpassing his $170,0000 win in the 2021 Prime Poker Open. This latest victory took Deutsch’s lifetime earnings to a whopping $1.1 million.
He defeated a star-studded final table that included the likes of BSPO Championship runner-up Andrew Voor (2nd – $239,654), George Cain (3rd – $165,256) and WPT champion and 2022 Wynn Millions main event winner Tony Sinishtaj (6th – $58,317).

This event did not meet its specified $2,000,000 guarantee, resulting in a $249,120 overlay. The top 103 finishers cashed, with the final four walking away with the six-figure payouts. The final day began with seven players remaining, with Deutsch in the lead. Max Hoffman was the first to fall after his A-10 suited lost to the pocket tens of George Cain. He was followed by Tony Sinishtaj who got it in with K-Q trailing the A-Q of Justin Vaysman. Ace high played by the river and Sinishtaj was busted in sixth.
Carlos Alvarado then ran his K-Q into A-Q. An ace-high runout sent Alvarado packing in fifth place. Deutsch continued on elimination spree with his A-4 holding against the 9-8 of short stack Justin Vaysman (4th – $108,598). The next player to fall was George Cain whose ace-high bluff on the turn ran into a flopped set of threes for Andrew Voor. He was eliminated in third place ($165,256).
