Flight C Coming Up at 5 PM
Day 2 of the 2020 Borgata Winter Poker Open here at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City began at 11 a.m. local time with the second starting flight of the $600 Deep Stack Kick-Off in the Event Center. The third flight, Day 1c, will begin at 5 p.m. in the rear of room right in front of Media Row and be a repeat of Day 1b, which is still in progress in the front of the Event Center.
Of the 405 entries in Flight A yesterday, 65 players have already punched their tickets to Day 2. It remains to be seen how many will join them from Flight B and registration remains open for that flight until about 5:45 p.m.
With a whopping $2 Million Guarantee on total buy-ins, many more entries are expected tonight and tomorrow in the final two starting flights. The 2019 BWPO Kick-Off saw 5,130 entries to easily surpass the guarantee. Amateur player Pascal Zaklama walked away with $328,695 and the trophy to score his biggest live cash by far.
Late registration and unlimited re-entries for Flight C are available until the start of level 13 (about 11:45 p.m.). All players will start with a full 25,000 stack and they will play fifteen 30-minute levels tonight. The remaining players will then bag up their chips for the night (about 1:30 a.m.).
The final two starting flights, D and E, will start at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. respectively on Thursday, January 16. The survivors of all five starting flights will combine on Friday, January 17, at 11 a.m. for Day 2 to battle it out for their spot on Day 3, Saturday beginning at 12 noon.
