PokerOrg had the privilege and enjoyment of providing live coverage at the Borgata Winter Poker Open so we know a thing or two about the events they put on -- enough to say you should hurry up and start making plans for an Atlantic City trip.
The complete schedule of events accompanied the news of the Spring Poker Open -- check out the highlights below.
Schedule highlights
The schedule for the Borgata Spring Poker Open features twenty-two events, including three multi-flight events: Kick Off Almighty Million, Mirror Mystery Bounty, and Spring Poker Open Championship.
The Kick Off Almighty Million starts the series with a bang, guaranteeing a $1,000,000 prize pool and offering players a choice of five starting flights at a buy-in of just $500 -- plus, a streamed final table for those fortunate enough to make it there.
$900 will get you entry into the Mirror Mystery Bounty, which boasts a $500,000 guarantee. Players can choose from one of four starting flights and battle all the way to the streamed final table.
The Spring Poker Open Championship carries a $2,000,000 guarantee with a buy-in set at $2,700. Players can choose from one of two starting flights and the final table will stream live. Borgata regular and local professional Alex Queen took home the top prize of $613,063 for his victory at the Winter Poker Open Championship.
Additional highlights include the Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, the Seniors (50+) Championship, and the series-closing Borgata Big Chip Bounty. Plus, there are a number of qualifying events on the schedule for players to win their entries at a reduced cost.
There are also plans for four independent live streams during the Spring Poker Open, including: a 2-5 No-Limit Hold'em game, a Pot-Limit Omaha game, the $150,000 BetMGM Online Hybrid Championship, and the High Roller Big Buy-in.
