Borgata Survivor Collection Week
April will also feature another Borgata Poker Survivor Series week. The tournaments will run from April 12-21. The Survivor Series includes five different tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $125 to $450. In a Survivor event, the prize pool is divided equally among the players who make it to the money and the tournament concludes.
$5, 500 Mystery Easter Egg Search, a high-hand weekend occasion
Cash poker players can take a shot at a share of the $60,500 prize pool on April 14-15, with two $5,000 Grand Prizes available each day.
Bonus Hand Winners every half hour will have a chance to draw a Mystery Easter Egg and reveal cash prizes. Daily prizes of $3,500, $1,500, $1,000, $750, $250 and $250 are also up for grabs.
If multiple players are dealt the same qualifying high hand within the same time period and a split is required, the first player dealt the qualifying high hand will get to choose the Mystery Easter Egg, and the prize will be split equally among the qualifying players.
There will also be the Borgata Bad Beat Jackpot, which has been $100,000 since April 1. To qualify for a bad beat, players must have four of a kind, tens or better, using two cards in their hand. The loser of the hand receives 40% of the jackpot, the winning hand gets 20% and the remaining 40% is divided among the other players dealt into the hand.
Almighty Mil Stack earnings in May
The live event series will run from May 7-13 in Atlantic City. The popular Almighty series returns for the first time since the outbreak, guaranteeing $1,000,000 in payouts.
“Almighty has been synonymous with Borgata Poker for nearly a decade. It’s been three years since Borgata offered this event as part of the Borgata Winter Open, and Almighty is always one of the most anticipated events on the calendar, bringing the same excitement with a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool,” said Kellie DeCelis, Borgata Manager of Poker Operations.
With an $800 buy-in, players receive a generous starting stack of 100,000 chips, allowing for plenty of play early on. This starting stack is one of the largest available in any live hold’em tournament across the country.
The action-packed event begins on Sunday, May 7, with Day 1 flights running through Wednesday, May 10. After the field is narrowed down, the remaining players will return for Day 2 on Thursday, May 11, at 11 a.m.
On the internet qualifiers through BetMGM
If the $800 buy-in is out of reach, BetMGM will offer online satellites and live events for players to win a package to the series.
“The success of online qualifiers and the great response to ‘The Return’ shows that players want more of these omnichannel events that connect these great brands. BetMGM is excited to continue partnering with Borgata Poker to give players another chance to play at the East Coast’s premier poker destination,” said Luke Staudenmaier, BetMGM Director of Poker.
According to the BetMGM website, players in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan will have the opportunity to win $2,500 Almighty Million Poker Packages through online events for a fraction of the cost (beginning on April 23). This package will include:
