Bounty Hunting Begins at 1 pm!
The third tournament of the 2020 Borgata Winter Poker Open – the $500 buy-in Event #3: Deepstack Black Chip Bounty NLH with $250,000 Guarantee – will begin at 1 p.m. local time. A $100 Black Chip rides on every elimination and the player who collects an opponent's last tournament chip also gets their bounty!
Last year, this tournament easily surpassed its $250,000 GTD by attracting 1,073 runners and creating a more than $364,000 prize pool. Day 2 ran until about 3:30 a.m. before the remaining eight players agreed on adjusted payouts. Frank Brannan took first place and an even $50,000, along with his first Borgata Open trophy.
Players will start with 25,000 in chips and late registration and re-entries will remain open through the end of the dinner break after Level 8 (about 8:30 p.m.). All levels will last 45 minutes each.
Day 1 will end at 18 players or 2 a.m., when remaining players will bag their chips and return for Day 2 Saturday at 12 noon for the finale.
Bounty Hunting has Begun
Event #3: $500 Black Chip Bounty DeepStack NLH has begun in the rear of the Event Center.

Daniel Lupo Takes His Seat on the Live Felt
Daniel Lupo added his first WSOP bracelet to his poker resume this past Summer after winning the $500 WSOP.com Online Turbo Deepstack event.
Lupo bested the stacked 1,181 entry field to earn $145,273 and the jewelry.
He is making his first appearance in quite some time on the live felt here in the Black Chip Bounty NLH and will surely be one to keep an eye as the tournament progresses.

Quad Queens for Phillip Phan
Phillip Phan got his stack of 21,200 all in pre-flop holding 
against the 
of his opponent.
The dealer fanned the 
flop and Phan improved to top set to put a hammerlock on the hand. The 
hit the turn to give Phan quad queens leaving his opponent drawing dead.
The meaningless 
completed the board and Phan earned the double up.
