"Sold out"

That's like saying the Yankees sold a game out in 2021 when they were allowed 10k people max- except covid restrictions have long been lifted

The Harrah’s folk are trying to get the game going back at Borgata. Don’t even bother.

Is Chris still around? I was always told the game would never be at Borgata because his wife deals there

There’s a $1500 buyin 250k guaranteed on Friday-Saturday November 18-19

There’s also apparently a series coming up January 2-8. I saw that by just searching Borgata poker on Twitter. The events and details for the series aren’t out yet but it’s pretty much confirmed. It’s only a week long but it’s at least a starting point. Hopefully all goes well and we get 5 series next year.

I saw someone said it's going to be a $5k buyin with a $3M Gtd. Anybody hear if they will run smaller buyin for their opener like the old poker series?

The few things I’ve read about it all said “series” so I would assume so. I also saw November 1st will be the official announcement date if everything goes according to plan. In the past they have pushed back their announcement dates since it has to go through all of the higher ups before its officially announced though.

Darren Elias had one a couple of months ago, my friend sporadically plays the stud hi weekend game and was confused as to who he was and why his picture was in the Borgata

The dealers post pandemic have a hard enough time dealing holdem.. I’d imagine this idea would turn into a total $hit$how.

5k buyin 3M guarantee.. I think they’re being pretty optimistic and don’t realize how much of their high stakes player pool they’ve lost. People aren’t coming for the tourney and paying $400-$500 a night on the weekend to stay at the Dustgata. I predict there will be an overlay and a lot of tourney players will skip this.
