ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Poker is coming back to Atlantic City, with a few tweaks to accommodate the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The Borgata casino said Thursday it will resume live poker. WPT Online Borgata Phase 2 Main Event – featuring live streamed Day 2 final table! Our Software At Borgata, we are always listening to our players and updating our software, allowing us to deliver an unbeatable poker experience.
One of the biggest series of the year in the United States – the 2020 Borgata Winter Poker Open – will take place from January 14-31, 2020 at Atlantic City’s Borgata. What’s more, PokerNews will be there to live report the series in its entirety.
Highlights from the 25-event schedule include the $540+$60 Deepstack Kick-Off NLH, which offers five starting flights and boasts a $2 million guarantee; the $350+$50 buy-in, $1 million GTD Almighty Stack; a $3,000+$125 buy-in Heads-Up event; a Charity Series of Poker Tournament; a $5,000+$100 High Roller; and the $3,500 buy-in, $3 million GTD World Poker Tour Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship from Sunday, January 26 through Thursday, January 30.
In 2019, the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship attracted 1,415 entries and crushed the $3 million guarantee by creating a $4,529,145 prize pool. Vinicius Lima emerged victorious in that tournament to capture a $728,430 first-place prize.
