Event 17: Easter Break

$1,000 + $90 NL (6 Max)

Okay in full disclosure, this tournament went to 9am during the 2011 Borgata Winter Poker Open. We'll just have to wait and see how long it goes this morning.

Magnificent seven are holding strong and currently on a short break.

George Medrano was telling me how he has to be on top of his game to counteract all the internet players who bought into the field today.

George is on a heater as he won his Championship seat yesterday in a 1 in 10 satellite.

Nicholas Lowry is playing in his first big-time tournament and asked me if this is considered a major.

I told him this is a players tournament and some consider this field tougher than the Championship. It's a pretty big deal to win it.

As for the 6-Max being a major, it's a major Borgata tournament with a $114,000 Total Buy-In and maybe just one notch below a WPT or WSOP Main Event.

"So it's like the Masters in golf" said Lowry as he laughed.
