"Mr. SixMax" is in the House

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante
Michael Kemeter, "Mr. SixMax"
Michael Kemeter, "Mr. SixMax"

Might as well call him "Mr. SixMax, since Michael Kemeter regularly crushes this event.

He won it all back in the 2015 Borgata Summer Poker Open, topping a field of 128 runners to take first place and $37,249. One year later, he successfully defended that title, taking first again in 2016 in a field of 120 for $34,920.

During the 2017 Borgata Poker Open, he finished fourth out of 333 entries for $12,217, then later that year in the Fall Poker Open, he just missed another SixMax title, finishing third (out of 124) for $16,539.

In the 2018 Summer Poker Open, he returned to the winner's circle, winning yet another SixMax title, besting a field of 130 entries for first place and $22,856.

Last September, he was once again at the final table of the SixMax, where he finished fourth out of 244 runners for $22,485.

No other player at Borgata has performed this consistently in an event like this one, that draws a field of such skilled players.

Schiavo Gets Aces on the Button - Twice

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Arthur Schiavo
Arthur Schiavo

Arthur Schiavo got pocket aces on the button — twice — and in the most recent hand, was up against {a-}{q-} in the big blind.

Schiavo's rockets held up and he sent the player in Seat 2 to the rail.

Most tables in the SixMax were four-handed at the start, but now they're filling in and more tables are opening up as the field grows.

Borgata CSOP
Borgata CSOP

The Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) is proud to announce their 29th charity poker event, which will take place tomorrow night (Saturday, January 25) – the night before the Borgata Winter Poker Open World Poker Tour $3,500 Main Event.

The tournament will take place in the Event Center and all net proceeds from the $220 buy-in tournament, which will offer re-entries (no add-ons), will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

The event will feature a catered reception with an open bar, food, and music, which will be held from 5:00-6:30 p.m. at Gypsy Bar courtesy of Borgata. The winner of the charity tournament, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m., will walk away with a $3,500 seat into the WPT Borgata Main Event. The second and third-place finishers will receive seats to the $500 St. Jude CSOP (to be held on April 4 at the Palms in Las Vegas) along with hotel and $500 for travel. The 4th-6th place finishers will receive a $500 St. Jude CSOP Las Vegas seat.

There will also be a silent auction, raffle, bounty prizes, plus $1,000 cash prizes for both the chip leader at the end of the re-entry period and the player with the most re-entries. Among those slated to attend are DraftKings National Sports Betting Champion Randy Lee, Anthony Zinno, CSOP Founder Matt Stout, Faded Spade Founder Tom Wheaton, Tyler Patterson, Esther Taylor, Tommy Bates, and many more!

Sponsors for the event include Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, Sofa King Creative, RunGoodGear, VerStandig Law, Clayton Tax and Financial, PokerNews, and Right Touch Trophies.

About the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.

Siegel is a "Super Survivor"

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Eric Siegel
Eric Siegel

Since the beginning of this 2020 Borgata Winter Poker Open series, Eric Siegel has cashed in four Survivors including Event #6: $560 Super Survivor NLH, earning $5,000.

He's padding his bankroll nicely with the Survivor format (or replenishing it after the lost tournament buy-ins). If things don't go his way in today's SixMax, he'll most likely turn up in Event #15, $560 Super Survivor, which starts at 5 p.m. this evening.
