Flight B Takes to the Air at 11 AM
Day 2 of the 2020 Borgata Winter Poker Open here at the luxurious Borgata in Atlantic City kicks off at 11 a.m. local time with the second starting flight of the $600 Deep Stack Kick-Off in the Event Center. Day 1b will be a repeat of Day 1a which took place yesterday, albeit with more entries expected as the first starting flight attracted 405 entries.
Out of those 405 entries, 65 players have already made it through to Day 2. Emanuele "Manny" Gugliuzza is currently leading them with 419,000 in his Day 2 bag. Other notable stacks belong to players like Reggie Jones (326,000), Charlie Marchese, Mike Volpe (263,000), and Michael Marder[/b] with 246,000 in chips.
With a whopping $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, many more entries are expected to fly in over these next few starting days. The 2019 edition attracted 5,130 entries to easily surpass the guarantee with Pascal Zaklama walking away with $328,695 and the trophy to score his biggest live cash ever.
Late registration and re-entry are available until the start of level 13 (about 5:45 p.m.). All players will start with a full 25,000 stack. They will play fifteen 30-minute levels today, the remaining players will then bag up their chips for the night (about 7:30 p.m.).
Another starting flight, Day 1c will start at 5 p.m. with two more taking place on Thursday, January 16. The survivors of all five starting flights will combine on Friday, January 17, at 11 a.m for Day 2 to battle it out for their spot on the final day.
