Lots of announcements to make on this fine June day even as the Borgata Summer Poker Open's Championship Tournament is underway.
![]()
Today is Day 1B of the $2,500 + $200 tournament, but daily and evening tournaments are scheduled through June 21. Follow all the action on Borgata's live tournament blog and check out the Borgata Summer Poker Open's full schedule.
OK, now for the announcements.
First of all, the Borgata Bad Beat Jackpot took a better than $20K leap over the weekend and now comes in at just over $400K. There's something magical about that $400K mark. It sets off something we like to call Bad Beat Mania.
The jackpot has hit four times in 2013 - twice for more than $500,000. Somebody is already walking around lucky and doesn't even know it.
The Borgata Poker Room has also announced some summer special tournament events to heat things up even more this season. Actually, the room itself never says anything, but you get the idea.
On tap for the summer are:
$250,000 Guaranteed 10th Anniversary Deepstack Double Play, $500 + $60 No Limit tournament June 30 to July 2. Day 1A is Sunday, June 30 at 11am with Day 1B July 1, also at 11am. Yes, it's Borgata's 10th anniversary.
Special July 4 Holiday tournament, $150 + $30 + $100 Black Chip Bounty No Limit Hold'em tournament.
$100,000 Guaranteed Saturday Series, $350 + $50 No Limit Hold'em tournament July 13
-and-
$100,000 Guaranteed Saturday Series, $350 + $50 No Limit Hold'em tournament Aug. 3.
$250,000 Guaranteed $1,000 + $90 Deepstack Double Play Tournament, July 14-17.
$100,000 Guaranteed $150 + $30 Big Stack Multi-play No limit Hold'em Mini-Series. (Four Opening Day Sessions). The winner also receives a seat at the Borgata Open Championship.
And of course, The Borgata Poker Open Sept. 3-20 (which is still summer).
It's a lot, huh? Especially considering our 24/7 live play and regular daily tournaments (Returning after the Borgata Summer Poker Open).
Really, there's no other place in Atlantic City like the Borgata Poker Room.
