Event #17: $1,060 Purple Chip Bounty Has Begun!
The final preliminary event of the 2019 Borgata Poker Open is underway! This Purple Chip Bounty event puts a $500 price tag on every player’s head. Everyone has a purple chip on the table and they must surrender that bounty to the player who collects their last tournament chip.
Everyone starts with 20,000 tournament chips and levels 1-15 are 30 minutes long. Starting with level 16, they go to 40 minutes long. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of level 9 (at least 8:30pm).
