Event #1 is a HUGE 2 milly GTD event. 1st has been 350-380k is so the last few times. THEN, the following week they are having a $500 buyin that has a 1 MILLION gtd. WOW, that’s the first time they are ever trying this. Should be fun.

Of course the following week is the WPT Main event $3500 buyin. the last 2 yrs. 1st was 850k.

I’ll be there a bunch, hope to see some of you kids. GLGL ALL OF US.

Im planning on that as well. Just need to money up a bit for the buyins.

I was there this weekend for summer heater. End of level 7, I had 140k and got disqualified. Such a disaster.

WIsh you all the best at Borg.

Well, I just went to the restroom with my chiprack. I mean the restroom was right next to my table. But obviously, a year ago people made counterfeit chips and stuff, so they are pretty sensitive.

They showed no mercy.

I was there last year so I can understand that.  WOW, that sucks dude.  smh. 

Borgata isn't going to allow any BS.  Just say a message from their TD Tab to one of his head Floor people that they are going by strict TDA rules. 

 

#1 being – FIRST CARD off the deck.  If you are not in your seat when the first card is dealt.  you hand is DEAD.

Now, I had a one on one conversation with Tab at this same event just after him and the other members of the TDA met and agreed to all their new rules.  Matt Savage & Jack WSOP don't enforce that rule.  Tab said he hated the rule and would not enforce it at Borgata.  I wonder what has changed his mind.  I hope it's not true.

Well, this is what literally sucked. If I really did it, punish me. But, I mean I explained that I didnt know etc, at least show the decency to inspect my chips and let me go for one time.

The guy next to me with the same chip stack made it to the final table 🙁

Well, since Tab (Borgata's TD) has let the structure for event 1 get worse over the years, I don't think I'm going to fire too many bullets, even with 1st place being around 350K.  I'll be playing weds morning.  Hope to see you all day 2.  

Def saving some for the other events with better structures including the main.  GLGL all.
