The structures are set for the 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open, April 8-26, as Borgata continues its rep for the best poker structures on the East Coast.
And that, or course, means the structures are also set for the $5 Million Guaranteed Season XII World Poker Tour Championship which will run at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa April 21-26.
This marks the first year that the WPT Championship will be played at Borgata, which is already home to the WPT Borgata Open in September (the 2013 contest is currently airing on the WPT’s FSN TV series) and the Borgata Winter Poker Open in January as WPT Tour televised events. It’s also the first time the WPT Championship has a prize pool guarantee.
The $15,000 + $400 buy-in, Double Play WPT Championship has two opening days—Day 1A, April 21 and Day 1B April 22. Anyone busting out on Day 1A at any level can re-enter on Day 1B.
Players start with 50K in tournament chips. Day 1 Levels will last 75 minutes each. Day 2, 3 & 4 Levels will last 90 minutes each.
Antes kick in at Level 5. The opening blinds are 25-50.
Day 1A/Day 1B will end after Level 8. Day 2 will end after level 14. Day 3 will end at 27 players. Day 4 will end at 6 players.
