An exciting day of poker at Borgata lies ahead.

Two events are set to begin today, one of the few days where we're kicking off with a fresh slate, as nothing that started in previous days is carrying over. We'll start with the $350+50 Deep Stack Black Chip Bounty No-Limit Hold'em, in which players buy in for $400 but also must have a black $100 chip to send to the player who takes the last of their chips. Cards are scheduled to be in the air in mere moments for that. That tournament will finish later today or in the wee hours of tomorrow.

At 3 p.m., one of the more anticipated tournaments will kick off: the $1,500+150 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em, which will see a maximum of 128 players matched up in one-on-one poker combat. Level will last 30 minutes, and players begin with 25,000 chips.

We'll be bringing you the relevant updates from all of the exciting matches here on PokerNews.
