Day: 1a
Borgata Fall Poker Open Deepstack Kick-Off Begins Today!
The third event of the 2019 Borgata Fall Poker Open starts today with the $600 Deepstack Kick-Off set to begin at 11 a.m. local time. Last year saw Frank Lagodich as the last man standing, pulling in a $128,359 for his first-place finish, after besting a 1,474 entry field.
There will be a total of four starting flights, all of which will play a total of 15 levels that are 30-minutes in length. Day 2 will have 50-minute levels and the final day has full hour-long levels. Late registration will remain open through until the beginning of level 13 and all players have unlimited re-entries until this time.
A 15-minute break will occur after every four levels of play and there will be no dinner break on any Day 1 that is slated. All starting flight survivors will combine for Day 2, on Friday, November 8 to battle it out for a shot of making the final day.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be here throughout the event, bringing you all the action as the tournament unfolds, so stay tuned.
