Today's second one-day trophy event is just for the Ladies! Following the popular "Ladies Brunch & Learn", which took place at Wolfgang Puck this morning, many of the attendees are ready to try their new-found poker skills. (The mimosas served with brunch should give the first-timers the courage they need to give it a try.)
Ladies get 20,000 chips to start and all levels are 30 minutes long. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are allowed until the start of level 9 (about 5:30pm). Play will continue until a winner is determined and another Borgata Open trophy is awarded.
Last year, Janie Giunta took 1st place and $2,573, earning her second Borgata Ladies event trophy in the process.
Here's a look at the structure:
| Level | Big Blind Ante | Blinds |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | - | 100-100 |
| 2 | 100 | 100-100 |
| 3 | 200 | 100-200 |
| 4 | 300 | 200-300 |
