Borgata Poker Open Tournament at Borgata Casino Hotel

The Borgata Poker Open poker tournament is an annual poker tournament at
the Borgata Casino Hotel
in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It is a young poker tournament, first held
in 2003, the year the Borgata opened. The Borgata Poker Open has quickly
become one of the top Atlantic
City poker tournaments of the year. The Borgata Poker Open draws
poker professionals from around the world as well as plenty of local poker
talent. These are often the top prize money poker tournaments in Atlantic
City.
As a sign of its growth in popularity, the inaugural Borgata Poker Open
Championship Tournament
drew 235 players and had a prize pool of $1,175,000. In 2008, the Borgata
Poker Open Championship attracted 516 players and offered a total prize pool of
$5 million.
The Borgata Poker Open takes place in September and is an official stop on the
Word Poker Tour.
The Borgata poker room is spacious, comfortable, and one of the classiest
locations on the World Poker Tour. As an official World Poker Tour event,
the winner of the main event Borgata Poker Open Championship receives not only
the tournament prize money, but also a seat at the
World Poker Tour Championship
at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
The Borgata Poker Open consists almost entirely of no limit
Texas Holdem poker
tournaments, with one limit Texas Holdem poker tournament and one Seven Card
Stud poker tournament. There is also a Ladies no limit Texas Holdem poker
tournament. Poker tournaments take place daily during the course of the
Borgata Poker Open Tournament series which lasts about two weeks. Buy-ins
for the daily Borgata Poker Open tournaments are very reasonable generally
ranging from $300 to $5,000 (plus entry fees ranging from $50 to $200).
The main event of the Borgata Poker Open is the $10,000 buy-in no limit Texas
Holdem Borgata Poker Open Championship poker tournament. This is a five
day poker tournament with some very skilled competition. The Borgata Poker
Open Championship is a regular stop for many poker pros following the
poker tournament circuit. Like
many top poker tournaments in recent years, however, it is not unusual to see
unknown but talented poker amateurs make it to the final table.
Online poker has allowed many poker
players to skill up quickly and these days there are plenty of new faces at all
of the major poker tournaments.
The Borgata poker room holds plenty of satellite tournaments in the weeks
preceding the $10,000 Borgata Poker Open Championship Tournament.
Satellite tournament players have a chance to win a seat at the main event
Borgata Poker Open Championship Tournament. Satellites are one day poker
tournaments typically with 13 levels, each level lasting about 40 minutes, and
each satellite tournament awards as many seats to the $10,000 Borgata Poker Open
Championship Tournament as possible. Satellite tournament buy-ins
generally range from a couple hundred dollars to a couple thousand dollars.
In addition to the Borgata Poker Open Tournament, the Borgata Casino poker room
is also the venue for the annual June
Borgata Summer Open Poker Tournament,
as well as the January Borgata
Winter Poker Open.
