Wednesday 6th September 2006 Borgata Poker Open Launches with a Full House
The Borgata Poker Open began yesterday in grand style, with a full house of more than 1,100 eager players. Creating an electric atmosphere, professionals and amateurs alike arrived at the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa to vie for their piece of poker history.
The players learned of an additional prize for all Main Event winners – a Rolex watch from Bernie Robbins Fine Jewelry to accompany their cash prizes. 'With the incredible structure and top-notch service, I didn't think this tournament could get any better, but the inclusion of a Rolex for the winner makes these events a must-play,' said tournament participant, Matthew Stout of New Jersey.
Behind-the-scenes coverage of the event will be available via a special blog which will also feature a daily video segment with interviews from top professional players, as well as notable amateurs from this year's tournament. 'Our relationship with City Atlantic enables us to provide up-to-the-minute status of all events,' said Ray Stefanelli, director of poker marketing at Borgata.
Players can still register for the remaining Borgata Poker Open events. Seats can be reserved online at www.borgata.com. Online registration closes 48 hours before each event after which time on-site registration is still available.
