It's Time! Summer Poker Open Championship Begins as Almighty Stack Returns for Day 2
IT'S TIIIIIME!
The $2,700 Summer Poker Open Championship gets underway at 12:15 p.m. today as players begin their pursuit of the festival's biggest title. With a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool and three starting flights on the schedule, Day 1A marks the opening chapter of the Borgata Summer Poker Open's marquee event.
Before that, though, there's unfinished business in the $500 Almighty Stack.
A massive 2,189 entries packed the field across six starting flights, with 279 players returning for Day 2 at noon. Leading the way is Will Failla, the WPT champion bagged the biggest stack of the tournament and will be looking to turn that advantage into a major Borgata title.
Mixed-game players also have the $500 H.O.E. on the schedule, while anyone still hoping to earn a seat in the Championship can take their shot in the $320 Mega Summer Poker Open Championship Qualifier, where one in every ten entrants will win a seat and 10 seats are guaranteed. The afternoon also features the $550 $5K Re-Up Survivor, before the day wraps up with the $250 Sunday Night Turbo.
