Event 17 Set to Start
Event 17 is the $100,000 Guaranteed Big Stack No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry Saturday Series. The tournament cost $400 per entry and with the Winter Poker Open's turnout numbers so far, we expect the $100k guaranteed prize pool to be generated rather easily. Expect several top pros to use this event as a tune-up for the upcoming World Poker Tour Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event, while also trying to make a five-figure score to pad their bankroll.
Players will start the tournament with 20,000 in chips, and levels will last 30 minutes throughout. It's scheduled to play down to a winner today, and with the size of the fields we've seen in some of these events, that really means tomorrow morning.
