During the 2019 Summer Poker Open last July, Adam Reese carved his name in Borgata's history books when he won two trophy events during the 18-day series. The poker dealer from Pennsylvania won both the $300 Deeper Stack NLH ($14,805) and the $450 Almighty Stack NLH ($68,806*).
He's in action here today in Flight C of the Almighty Stack and off to a good start.
During the 2018 Borgata Summer Poker Open, [Removed:321] Saadeghvaziri, a.k.a. "the Badger" and Carlos Alvarado made it to the final table of the Almighty Stack, where they were part of a three-way deal with Joseph Gay.
Saadeghvaziri took first place and $84,000, plus the BSPO trophy and in an unusual deal, Alvarado negotiated his way to second place and $100,000.

There's a separate registration line for re-entries, which have priority over new registrations for Flight C.
For now, however, the re-entry line (in front) is much longer than the registration line (behind the players waiting to re-enter)!
Some players will be registering early for the final flight, 1d, which begins at 5 p.m. — expect some long lines for registration later tonight, as it is the last chance for players to try to bag chips for Day 2 of the Almighty Stack!
