An der amerikanischen Ostküste finden aktuell die WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open statt mit dem WPT $3.500 Main Event. An zwei Starttagen konnte das Turnier in Atlantic City schon 1.204 Entries verbuchen, womit die Garantiesumme von $3.000.000 gerade zu pulverisiert wurde, denn schon jetzt liegen im Preispool mehr als $3,8 Millionen. Die Rekordteilnahme aus dem Jahr 2011 (1.313 Entries) könnte heute an Tag 2 noch erreicht werden, denn bis zum Ende der ersten zwei Level ist die Late-Registrierung noch möglich. In Führung liegt aktuell der US-Amerikaner Joey Couden (321.600 Chips), der gestern an Starttag 1B die zuvor aufgestellte Bestmarke von Daniel Wellborn (308.000 Chips) aus Tag 1A nochmals toppen konnte.
Viele bekannte Namen sind bei den WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open mit von der Partie, unter anderem auch WSOP-Rekord-Gewinner Phil Hellmuth, der schon ein Turnier der Winter Open gewinnen konnte und damit ordentlich in den sozialen Medien hausieren ging. The Poker Brat holte Event #16, ein $1.590 Heads-Up Event bestehend aus 64 Teilnehmern. Als Sieger des Turniers räumte der baumlange US-Amerikaner $37.248 ab. Nach seinem Sieg sprang er sofort in das WPT Main Event und schloss Tag 1A mit 88.500 Chips ab.
