The SixMax NLH event always kicks off Championship weekend here at Borgata and they’re now underway in the back of the Event Center. This event serves as a great warm-up for players planning to play the Championship and the big buy-in and guarantee draws the serious pros.
This is also a great "palette cleanser" for the players who have been eliminated from the Almighty, currently playing down to the money in the front of the Event Center.

Another new Borgata Winter Poker Open trophy event kicks off at 1 p.m. today in the Event Center, running alongside Day 2 the Almighty Stack.
Event #14: $1,090 Six-Max NLH with $200,000 Guarantee is a two-day tournament and will start players with 20,000 in chips. Late registration and re-entries will be available through the break at the end of Level 10. Levels 1-8 will last 30 minutes and after that will switch to 45 minutes in length. At the final table, they'll jump one more time to one-hour levels.
Day 1 will run until 2 a.m. or 18 players, then they'll bag up for the night and return at 12 noon Saturday, January 25 for Day 2 and play until a winner is determined.
Last year this tournament crushed its $200,000 Guarantee by drawing 328 entrants, which resulted in a prize pool of more than $318,000. It was after 2 a.m. on Day 2 when Joshua Bergman of Brookline, MA, ultimately prevailed to win the title and accompanying $77,946 first-place prize.
