The poker room is hopping with a butt in nearly every seat between the Kick-Off event and cash games. The $1,000,000 Guarantee is far in the rearview mirror and building fast.
Borgata reg Chris Limo is making his first appearance of the series and happily grinding in the middle of the room. Though he does have Ryan Eriquezzo to his right so that can’t be a lot of fun.
Limo has plenty of big Borgata scores but the top two came in back-to-back Borgata Poker Opens. In 2015, he was the last player standing out of 2,785 entries to win the Almighty Stack and he returned the next year to make the World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open Championship final table where he finished in fifth place for more than $200,000.
