As the 2014 edition of the Borgata Winter Poker Open comes to a close, the penultimate event on the schedule is set to start at 11 a.m. local time.
Event 22 is a $330 Black Chip Bounty NLHE Re-Entry tournament and every time a player busts an opponent, they claim a $100 bounty for the feat. Several big name pros are still in the building after being eliminated from the World Poker Tour's Main Event Championship, so we would not be surprised to see a stacked field with players like Amanda Musumeci trying to close out a strong series with one last cash. After all, Musumeci nearly won the last Black Chip Bounty event here, finishing as the runner-up and taking home $17,214 for the near miss.
Today's event should build a similar prize pool, as players attempt to recoup their losses, generate a small profit, or add to their gains with the end of the Borgata Winter Poker Open drawing near.
