Event #18: $280 Double Green Chip Bounty
Day 1 Started
This always popular Deep Stack structure features a 25,000 starting stack and 30-minute levels for the duration of play. In addition, players can opt to pay an additional $5 Dealer Toke Add-On and get 5,000 additional chips. This option can be exercised at the start of play up until the close of registration. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 11 (about 5:45pm).
This Deep Stack post-lim also has a $50 bounty (two green chips) on each player's head. The player who takes their last tournament chip also gets their Double Green Chip Bounty! This is also a one-day event, so they’ll play until yet another Borgata Fall Poker Open trophy finds a new home. This event was not on last November's schedule, so there is no defending champion.

The $280 Double Green Chip Bounty is rolling along over in the Signature Room and there are some big names in attendance.
One of those is Howard Wolper, who holds the record for most cashes at Borgata with 128. Every time he's on the felt, he's a threat to go deep and he's always looking to extend that record, keeping it well out of reach of any competitors.
Bounty hunters are now taking their first break of the day after completing the first four levels.
