After attaching a $5 million guarantee to the WPT World Championship extravaganza, the Borgata Spring Poker Open narrowly missed the mark.
A total of 334 entries were needed over two starting flights, a number which many in the poker world expected to be exceeded midway through Day 1b, but when the final numbers were tabulated it turned out only 328 buy-ins were tallied.
Day 1a saw 105 players take their shot, and today 223 entries (with many of these representing reentries for those who went bust yesterday) were recorded. That leaves the total prize pool $90,000 light (a drop in the proverbial bucket really), but with most of the players in attendance here at the Borgata holding that much and more in safe deposit boxes around the globe, I'm sure nobody will remember the missed guarantee in the morning.
