Event #3: $600 Deepstack Kick-Off
Day: 1b
Day 1b of the Deepstack Kick-Off Starts at 5 PM!
The third event of the 2019 Borgata Fall Poker Open started today with the $600 Deepstack Kick-Off. 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.

Raul Rivas Stacking Chips
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
The day 1b field is still growing and most of the players are still hovering around their 25,000 starting stack. Raul Rivas however is not one of those players.
Rivas is off to a red hot start and just sent a player to the rail scooping a monster pot in the process. He is now up to 125,000 and is the early day 1b chip leader.

Hartshorn Adds to His Stack
Level 4
: 200/300, 300 ante
We caught up to the four handed action on the 
board. The action checked to the under the gun player who bet 600 into a main pot of about 2,000.
Travis Hartshorn raised to 2,100 and the under the gun player called. They went heads up to the 
river and the player checked to Hartshorn who bet 4,000.
After giving it some thought the player folded and Hartshorn added the pot to his stack.
