Padda Leading Early in Purple Chip Bounty

Level 3: Blinds 100/200/200 BB Ante

The early chip leader appears to be Harpreet Padda, playing about 60,000, which is triple the starting stack.

Aubrey Williams is up to ~50,000 in early bounty action.

One interesting table in the field includes Scott Efron, Hamid Izadi, Will "the Thrill" Failla, and Mike Dentale. This one should be good for some fireworks. Efron cracked pocket kings with his {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} all-in, catching an ace on the flop to double up.

Registration will remain open for a looooong time, so the entry count will continue to climb.

Event #17: $1,060 Purple Chip Bounty Has Begun!

The final preliminary event of the 2019 Borgata Poker Open is underway! This Purple Chip Bounty event puts a $500 price tag on every player’s head. Everyone has a purple chip on the table and they must surrender that bounty to the player who collects their last tournament chip.

Everyone starts with 20,000 tournament chips and levels 1-15 are 30 minutes long. Starting with level 16, they go to 40 minutes long. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of level 9 (at least 8:30pm).
