Event #19: $350 Double Green Chip Bounty
Day 1 Started
This always popular Deep Stack structure features a 25,000 starting stack and 30-minute levels for the duration of play. In addition, players can opt to pay an additional $5 Dealer Toke Add-On and get 5,000 additional chips. This option can be exercised at the start of play up until the close of registration. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 11 (about 6:45pm).
For the first time, this Deep Stack post-lim also has a $50 bounty (two green chips) on each player's head. The player who takes their last tournament chip also gets their Double Green Chip Bounty!
This event carries a $25,000 Guarantee on total buy-ins (not including bounties) as well, which should boost attendance. This is a one-day event, so they’ll play until yet another Borgata Poker Open trophy finds a new home. This event was not on last September's schedule, so there is no defending champion.
Play begins at 12 noon in the Borgata Event Center.
