Event 1: Rosario Leads Early

POSTED BY: AlCantHang

|CATEGORY: Event 1, June 2015

Level 5 (150/300/25 ante)
Total Entries: 175

Edgardo Rosario

Edgardo Rosario (Orocovis, DE)

Most of the stacks in the room were hovering around starting stack but there were three players who had a very solid first four levels. The front-runner at the first break was Edgardo Rosario (Orocovis, DE) after more than doubling his stack before the first break. He returned to a nice 64,250 stack and looking to improve on his final table appearance in Event 21 during the Borgata Spring Poker Open just a few weeks ago. His best tournament result was a deep run during December’s WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event for $6,857.

Rounding out the early big stacks are WSOP Circuit winner Mike McGuiness (Toms River, NJ) with 51,000 and Tonino Damore (San Jose, CA) with 50,000.

Event 1: Level Up, Numbers Up

POSTED BY: AlCantHang

|CATEGORY: Event 1, June 2015

Level 1 (25/50)
Total Entries: 71

It’s a slow move on the entrant count and it’s just gone over 70 as the first level comes to an end. Perhaps they are enjoying the fine Jersey Shore morning weather before taking their seats. Those is game are also in no particular hurry with their 500 big blind stacks while the coffee orders pile up with the waitress.

We expect the number to grow quickly as the noon hour approaches and players move from their morning activities to get in the game and win a piece of the $15,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Event 1: Next Deep Stacks Challenge Series About to Start

POSTED BY: AlCantHang

|CATEGORY: Event 1, June 2015

Level 1 (25/50)

The next round of Deep Stacks Challenge tournaments are set to get underway in a few moments with the first low buy-in, big prize pool event. The series will run 13 tournaments in 13 days and we’re starting off with a $100+20 buy-in tournament featuring a $15,000 guaranteed prize pool. This same tournament in February drew the biggest Deep Stacks Challenge field to date despite a huge snow storm at the time. We won’t have that same problem today and could top the 388 entrants from last time.

Players kick off the tournament with 25,000 stacks, 500 big blinds deep, and will play 25 minutes levels throughout the day. Late registration and unlimited rebuys are available until the start of Level 9, approximately 2:40pm. All Deep Stacks Challenge events are scheduled to complete in one day so they have a long grind ahead of them but it will be worth it in the end. Jafar Haider earned $10,164 for winning the February version for a nice return on his investment.

Cards will be in the air shortly and we’ll be here throughout the series with live updates until the last tournament on the 20th.

Deep Stacks Challenge Reading to Go

POSTED BY: AlCantHang

|CATEGORY: June 2015

deepstacks-challenge-158x158The next run of the Borgata Deep Stacks Challenge is set to begin early next week and the popular series offers a ton of value for our players. More opportunities and bigger guarantees await with nearly two weeks worth of events to collect a big payout.

The Deep Stacks Challenge kicks off on Monday, June 8 and will run 13 events in 13 days. The guaranteed prize pools range from $15,000 up to $50,000 and combine for at least $365,000 in total money. The buy-ins and prize pools will climb throughout the week with two big $50,000 guaranteed events on Saturday, June 13 and Saturday June 20 for just a $400 price tag.

A new tournament will run each day starting at 11am and will play down until a new winner is crowned. Each tournament features unlimited re-entries until the close of registration and the deep stack structure will give more than enough room to play. There will be plenty of action in the Borgata Poker Room over those two weeks as a nice set up for the upcoming Borgata Summer Poker Open in July.

The first event kicks off on Monday, June 8 at 11am with a $120 buy-in, $15,000 guaranteed tournament. We hope to see a bunch of local regulars along with new faces in crowd for another success run of the Deep Stacks Challenge.
