Event #2: $340 Pot-Limit Omaha
Day 1 Started
Event #2: $300+$40 Pot-Limit Omaha is set to begin at 3 p.m. local time here in the Signature Room. The tournament starts players with 20,000 in chips and offers late registration and re-entry through the break at the end of Level 10. All levels are 30 minutes long.
This is a one-day event, so they'll play until a winner is determined and the first trophy of the 2019 Borgata Fall Poker Open finds a new home. Last Fall, this tournament pulled 49 runners and saw Eddie 'Good' [Removed:363] take the title and $4,204 after a three-way deal.
Here's a look at the structure:

Level 1: Blinds 25/50
Pot Limit Omaha is underway here in the rear of the Event Center with several familiar faces in early action, in the very small field.
Among them are two players already holding Borgata Open PLO titles: Gary Kosakowski (2017 Summer Poker Open) and Barry Leventhal (2018 Spring Poker Open).

Level 3: Blinds 75/150
Chris Reslock has nearly $2 million in career earnings, more titles than we can enumerate here, and is the undisputed GOAT of Atlantic City. The local resident and retired cab driver has been carving his name into the annals of poker history for more than 23 years.
Two of his titles happen to have been earned playing Pot Limit Omaha right here at Borgata, (September 2009 and January 2010) so he's got to be a strong favorite for a deep run in today's PLO event.
