Champions will be crowned in both marquee events on Friday as the 2026 Borgata Summer Poker Open powered by BetMGM Poker reaches its conclusion.
The $2,700 Summer Poker Open Championship resumes at 12 p.m. with just seven players remaining, all chasing the $242,385 top prize. Carlos Chadha Villamarin returns with the chip lead, while BetMGM Poker qualifier James Tedrow continues his dream run after turning a $25 online qualifier into a guaranteed $34,620 payday. Cards are in the air at noon local time, with the BetMGM Poker livestream expected to begin around 12:30 p.m.
The $580 Monster Mirror Mystery Bounty also resumes at 12 p.m., with 76 players returning for Day 2. Everyone left in the field is already in the money after surviving one of the four opening flights, and the mystery bounty prizes come into play as soon as action begins. Shane Brown leads the returning field, while the full payout schedule will be announced just after cards are in the air.
Players looking for one final trophy before the series wraps up have two more opportunities. The $250 Last Chance One Day gets underway at 1:15 p.m. with a $25,000 guarantee, before the $250 Friday Night Super Deep Frenzy closes out the schedule from 5:15 p.m.
