Welcome to Day 5 of the BFPO and the $100K GTD Saturday Series Deep Stack!

It's slated to be a busy day at the 2019 Borgata Fall Poker Open (BFPO) with two restarts and two new events, all playing to a winner. One of the new events is Event #6: $400 Saturday Series Deepstack No Limit Hold'em, which is set to begin at 11 a.m.

Players start with 25,000 in chips and late registration and re-entries will remain open through the break at the end of Level 10 (about 4:45pm). Levels will last 30 minutes each throughout.

Level 1: Blinds 100/100

Borgata’s well-known and loved $100K GTD Saturday Series No Limit Hold’em tournament is underway in the Signature Room. This is a one-day event, so they’ll play until another Borgata Fall Poker Open trophy finds a new home.

Last year the first Saturday Series Deep Stack event drew 455 runners and crushed its $100,000 guarantee by creating a prize pool in excess of $154,000. John Wilson of Malvern, PA, came out on top of that tournament, taking first place and $23,760 after a 4-way deal was made.

Bates Cruising into Dinner Break

Level 15: Blinds 2,500/5,000/5,000 BB Ante

Tommy Bates was spotted on Table 2 sitting comfortably behind an above average stack of about 200,000. He's in good shape as they approach the dinner break, which takes place at the end of this level.

Bates has made a couple of final tables here at Borgata, but came up short of the win both times. He's got his sights set on that elusive Borgata Open trophy and is going to do his best to take one home.

Play will resume after dinner at about 8:35pm.

Dinner Time for Saturday Series

Event #6: Saturday Series DeepStack NLH is on dinner break until about 8:35pm.

Shortly before the end of level 15, Tommy Bates had another player all-in and in bad shape, with pocket queens against his opponent's pocket tens.

A ten on the flop sent the lead the other way, but then Bates caught a Queen for the bigger set. He stacked his opponent and is possibly the chip leader among the remaining 78 players as they head out for dinner.
