Event #10: $400 Almighty Stack NLH
Day 1e Started
The 2019 Borgata Poker Open $350+$50 Almighty Stack NLH event continues at 10 a.m. with the fifth of six starting flights. The sixth and final flight, Day 1f, is set to get underway later at 6 p.m. local time.
Players begin with an Almighty starting stack of 100,000 in chips. Late registration and re-entries will remain open in each flight until the start of Level 13 (about 4:45 p.m. for Flight E). The plan for each flight is to play through seventeen 30-minute levels, then bag up for the night. This is a best stack forward event, so players who have bagged chips in a previous level can opt to play again. If they bag more than once, they will take only their best stack into Day 2 on Friday at 12 p.m.
Here's a look at the structure for Day 1:
Level | Big Blind Ante | Blinds |
---|---|---|
1 | - | 100-100 |
2 | 200 | 100-200 |
3 | 300 | 200-300 |

Greg Fishberg has won two Almighty Stack NLH events here at Borgata, although both took place outside of the regular Open series.
Since its introduction, the Almighty Stack was such a hit, Borgata started holding them as stand-alone events. During February of 2017, Fishberg defeated a field of 1,139 entrants to take the $400 Almighty Stack title and $70,000*. Then one year later in February 2018,, he came out on top of a field of 1,317 runners to claim first place again and $95,007.
Those were his third and fourth Borgata titles, so Fishberg is a four-time Borgata titleist and he's due for number five. This event could be it!
