COOK DEFEATS DEFENDING CHAMP QUEEN TO WIN AT DELAWARE

2011 Venetian Deepstack side event winner Adam Cook is on the board in 2012. Cook - who also had a strong showing at the Borgata Spring Open last season - wins the Delaware Park Poker Classic, surviving a 312-player field that included defending champ Alexander Queen.

Queen - better known as @ArgentinaBoy to many - was able to make it heads up ... a three-hour battle ensued and in the end, Queen has to settle for second, not able to repeat.

Queen also won the Borgata Deepstack Main in May of last season.

Tournament host - former WSOP World Champion - Greg Raymer was unfortunately the bubble boy in the event, finishing one outside the money in 37th position.
