IT'S A PHUNG DOUBLE AT THE BORGATA DEEP STACK

Cuong Phung (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-263rd) has picked up his second Borgata Deep Stack Double Play Championship in less than five months.

Phung cashed in for almost 9K more than he did back in March; that's over 270K for the two victories.

Sardor Gaziev (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-996th) was fifth in the event. Gaziev earned a Top 18 finish in NLH Shootout Event #36 at World Series of Poker in June.

The Borgata was back at doing what it does best over the past week, and that's hosting poker tournaments! Borgata's Deep Stack Double Play Open reached it's climax mid-week, with Cuong Phung picking up the win.

Phung has plenty of AC tournament scores in the record books but this win dwarfs his previous tournament results.

Fifth place finisher Sam Bernstein earned his second PTPR Score of 2012. Bernstein (2012 PTPR Rank: 226th) earned a sixth place finish here at Borgata in February, during the Winter Open Main Event.

Chris Klodnicki, Daniel Buzgon, Chris Tryba and Matt Glantz are a few of the big name players that cashed in the event.
