Event 1: What the Heck!?!?! Chop it Up!

$350 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

David Heck (Colts Neck, NJ) is luck to still be playing after getting a fortunate chop.

On a board of A 45, Heck is all in and at risk against Lukas Stüger (Austria).

Heck: J J
Stüger: K K♣

Heck is not only dominated by the pocket pair, but Stüger has the better flush draw.

Then the improbable runner-runner chop happens with the 2 3 on the turn and river respectively to put a 5-high straight flush on the board.

Heck is a regular who has a Borgata trophy on his mantle, while Stüger is visiting the states and specifically targeted this event as part of his travel plans on his way to New York City.

Players are back from break as Level 7 (250/500) is underway.

  1. For Event 16 (June 18 11AM), I reserved a spot online by paying the fee. When I check in to hotel on the 17th, when and where to I register and pay the full amount? Do I have to wait to the morning of? Also, is there an option for add ons at a certain level?

    Thanks,

  2. You may register for this event at the poker room cage:
    now - June 17: 8A - Midnight (daily)
    June 18 - 21: 9A - 9P (daily)

    Since you reserved a seat online ($50 entry), you will need to bring your MyBorgata Card and the buy-in amount ($350). You may do this anytime from now until the start of the event on June 18.

    There are no add-ons for this event. If you bust prior to the end of Level 6, you may Re-Enter (pay the $350+$50) and you will start with a new stack of 15,000 in chips.
