We've got quite a slate on tap for the ninth day of the Borgata Winter Poker Open.

Kicking off the day, we'll be starting with the $450 buy-in Deepest Stack No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry. Play for this tournament began a short time ago, and players are starting off with 50,000 stacks. They'll be grinding until either 18 players remain or 2 a.m., whichever comes last. Levels will last 30 minutes until Level 11, at which point they go for 40 minutes.

At noon, we have a double-header: Day 2 of the $400 buy-in $250,000 Guarantee Deeper Stack No-Limit Hold'em and the start of the $450 buy-in Big Stack Pot-Limit Omaha Re-Entry. For the former, 309 players remain from three Day 1 flights. David Gerassi leads the way with 429,000, and Chris Kash is hot on his heels with 426,000, while Efraim Hirschman bagged 417,000. Other notable stacks include Jason Rivkin (375,000), Joe McKeehen (350,000), and Coleem Chestnut (316,000). The tournament is scheduled to play down to a winner.

Players begin with 20,000 chips in the PLO tournament. Levels will last 30 minutes for the first 10, and 40 minutes thereafter. Re-entries will be accepted for the first six levels, and a winner is scheduled to be determined tonight.
