Poker players along the East Coast are looking forward to one of the biggest events this spring.
Earlier this month, Borgata and BetMGM announced significant news that the popular “Almighty Stacks” NJ poker tournament series would make its triumphant return to Atlantic City.
“Almighty has been synonymous with Borgata Poker for nearly a decade,” said Kellie DeCelis, Borgata’s manager of poker operations. “It’s been three years since Borgata offered such an event in the Borgata Winter Open, and Almighty is always one of the most anticipated events on the calendar that brings the same excitement with a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.”
The tournament series will run from May 7-13 at Borgata and will generate over $1,000,000 in guaranteed prize pools. BetMGM has also announced online qualifiers for players to compete in these major events at affordable prices.

With an $800 buy-in, poker players of any level can put their luck and skill to the test with a starting stack of 90,000 chips. This ample stack size allows them to play with freedom and take risks.
Moreover, it’s one of the largest starting stacks for a live Hold’em tournament in the country. The Day 1 flights begin on Sunday, May 7, and run until Wednesday, May 10, culminating in the field’s reduction. The players reconvene at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 13. Final players will compete again on Friday.
“I am excited to play in the Almighty Stack, it’s always an amazing structure,” said Borgata Main Event final tablist Ryan Dodd.
The event will take place at Borgata AC, in the biggest poker room in Atlantic City and one of the largest in the country. Starting on May 1, players can register online exclusively through the BetMGM Poker app until 9 p.m. the day before each Day 1 flight. For those using online registration, it must be completed by 9 p.m. on May 9. On-site registration begins on May 5 at the Borgata Poker Cage.
The tournament allows for unlimited reentries, and returning players will be prioritized in seating assignments and Day 1 flight registration.
