According to a Q&A she did with the Borgata Blog, Stone was born and raised in New Jersey, but after Black Friday in 2011, she relocated to Rosarito, Mexico in order to continue playing online. When New Jersey authorized Atlantic City casinos to offer online gaming within state borders, Stone moved back north to New Jersey and picked up where she left off — winning!

Recently, Stone took the initiative to create the Discord channel “Poker Peeps Affected By COVID19” and invited those in casino industry affected by recent shutdowns to join.

“I realized how tough it was going to be for everyone to keep up with everything and everyone, with so much changing so fast,” Stone recently told PokerNews. “So, I messaged my friend Cy Watson, who has been very active on social media as well regarding Coronavirus, asking him if he thought it would be a good idea to start a chat for people in the industry to be able to connect with each other for help.”

She continued: “I think the main thing poker players and everyone can do is to keep an open mind. Understanding that this is unlike any situation any of us have encountered before, and so thinking outside the box can go a long way. Taking the time to improve a skill, or learn a new skill whether it's a game or something else could be really beneficial not just financially, but mentally.”

Borgata Open Poker

The final three players agreed on adjusted payouts and decided to call it quits about an hour after the dinner break. Gary Tavella held the chip lead and claimed 1st place along with $143,730 and the BSPO trophy. This is his first title and largest cash. In fact, before today he’s only had one reported tournament score. He’s usually found in the $40/$80 Hold’em cash games, but likes to play some tournaments when he has time.

Gary is a local home builder and is married with “a couple of kids, and three granddaughters”. They’ll all be very proud of his shiny new Borgata Hotel replica trophy. He said we may see him again in some other tournaments during this series.

Borgata tournament regular Michael Rossitto took 2nd place and $143,730. This will be his best live cash and will boost his lifetime earnings past $382,000.
