Five Players to Watch in The Return: a Borgata Championship Event
Today, The Return: a Borgata Championship Event kicks off at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa at Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Running from January 2-8, The Return: A Borgata Championship Event features four action-packed tournaments, including a $3 million guaranteed Main Event that guarantees $1 million to the winner.
The Return is a $5,300 buy-in $3 million guaranteed No-Limit Hold'em event that features a brace of Day 1s. Day 1A shuffles up and deals at 11:00 a.m. on January 4 with Day 1B starting at the same time on January 5. Days 2 and 3 get underway at 11:00 a.m. on January 6 and January 7, respectively, with the final table commencing on January 8; the final table's starting time depends on when Day 3 concludes.
Before $3 million The Return, there is the Borgata's first-ever Mystery Bounty event. It costs $2,200 to enter, and guarantees at least $1 million worth of mystery bounties. Rounding off the week-long series are a $2,100 buy-in Bounty Event where you receive $1,000 for every opponent you send to the showers, and a $1,100 Super Survivors tournament where one in ten will walk away with $10,000.
