At 10 a.m. local time, Day 1c of Event #13: Almighty Stack NLH will begin in the Event Center and as the third of four starting flights of one of the most anticipated events of the 2020 Borgata Winter Poker Open, this flight should pack the house. The $1 million guarantee on total buy-ins will bring the players out in droves for today's final two flights.
In 2019 this event featured a slightly bigger buy-in of $450 with the same guarantee. That guarantee was crushed as the 3,508 entries created a total prize pool of $1,403,200. Raj Desai took first place and $175,429 after agreeing to a three-way deal with Thomas Larson and Chris Tryba.
Players get an almighty 100,000 in chips to start and can register and re-enter until the start of Level 13 (about 4:45 p.m.). Re-Entries are unlimited and this is also a best stack forward event, so players who have already bagged can fire again if they want, without automatically forfeiting chips already bagged. All levels on Day 1 are 30 minutes long and they'll play 17 of those, then bag up for the night.
The final flight, 1d, takes off at 5 p.m. local time and will follow the same format. The PokerNews live reporting team will be there from the first shuffle up and deal until the final bag has been sealed, so stay tuned!
