Also on 9. Rafael P. tosses his cards in the center, right to where Brian Sherrier’s stack sits. This river shove works; a hand or two earlier, he was picked off by Lenny Palermo in the 1 seat.
We return in 15.

The Old School Freeze-Out is growing at a rapid pace – about the speed at which the Deepest Stack field is dropping — no coincidence there.
Only a handful of players have busted out of the Old School, which proves that players are being more cautious in an event with no re-entries.
Players can still late register until about 6pm, so plenty of time to go back to school.

Today’s new one-day trophy event is going Old School – NO Re-Entries! A good old fashioned freeze-out, the way tournaments were back in the day. You get one shot and if you bust out, that’s that. No firing again. There’s a $75,000 guarantee on total buy-ins for this new tournament.
Players get 20,000 chips to start and all levels are 40 minutes long. Late registration is open until the start of level 9 (about 6:05pm). This is a one-day event, so they’ll play until a winner is determined and another Borgata Open trophy has a new home.
As you may or may not have heard, the 2018 Borgata Poker Open will be running in a new temporary tournament area. Instead of the Event Center where we have been in the past, BPO tournaments will be running on tables in the Signature Room, the Poker Room, and a new Tournament Area in between.
The slot machines have been removed from this area and poker tables are in. This new setup is just for this series and in January we’ll be back in the Event Center for the 2019 Winter Poker Open.
This new tournament area is perfectly situated between Bread and Butter on one side and the escalator to the Marketplace Eatery on the other, giving players quick and easy access to refreshments. It’s also just a few steps to the Race and Sports Book for those who need to place a bet and the North Entrance, for those who need to step outside for some fresh air.
Online registration is closed, but on-site registration begins at 12 noon Monday, September 3rd and will remain open until midnight. Beginning Tuesday, registration will be open from 8am to midnight daily throughout the series at the Cashier windows across from the entrance to Bobby Flay’s.
