It only took 48 total hands for Full Tilt player Vivek “psyduck” Rajkumar to win the 2008 Borgata Poker Open. He went heads up with Sang Kim holding a 4 to 1 chip lead and it didn’t take long for the match to complete. It was an interesting final table with plenty of action and huge suckouts. When all the chips went in on a big hand, the favorite had rarely stood up. Aces, Kings and Queens were cracked by huge underdogs including the final hand.

Rajkumar and Kim got all the money in on an Ace high flop with “psyduck” holding AJ and Kim showing AQ. A Jack on the turn and Vivek was celebrating on the rail with all his friends.

It was interesting to see these two players go head’s up because I spent a good amount of time during the tournament watching their tables. Sang Kim spent most of Day 2 sitting at the table with Full Tilt pro Erik Cajelais and internet phenom Mike “SowerUNCC” Sowers. Vivek spent the previous days making moves as he climbed up amongst the chip leaders and knocking out Steve Danneman near the money bubble.
