Mark Newhouse of Chapel Hill, NC, became the newest WPT millionaire last night when he defeated the final table at the Borgata Poker Open in Atlantic City. The 21-year-old online poker player began the final table with a sizable chip lead, and after five hours of play and almost no backpeddaling, Newhouse's pocket Queens held up against Chris McCormack's A-J to claim the $1,519,000 first prize and a $25,000 seat in the WPT Championship next April. Here are the results of the final table.
1. Mark Newhouse $1,519,020 2. Chris (Mac) McCormack $802,985 3. David Sklansky $419,040 4. Anthony Argila $366,660 5. Chris Bell $314,280 6. Blaise Ingoglia $261,901
