Welcome to Event 15: $100,000 Guarantee Deep Stack No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry
Event 21 of the Borgata Winter Poker Open is set to start at 11 a.m. local time, and the $230 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry tournament boasts a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.
The series' first $100,000 guaranteed tournament was Event 5, and the tournament managed to build a $286,300 prize pool -the lion's share of which was won by Walter White lookalike Cotton Snuffer. We expect today's assurance to be met quite easily, especially with so many players sticking around after busting the WPT Main Event. There are several big name pros who failed to survive the Main Event, and with blizzard-like conditions creating a travel mess outdoors, many of the game's top players may still be on hand.
Amanda Musumeci is expected to be on hand, looking to close out a successful series - in which she registered a runner-up finish and two other deep runs - while also crossing the $1 million mark in live career earnings.
