Now’s the time to get in on the 2019 Borgata Fall Poker Open, to be held in Atlantic City November 5–22. Online satellites run through November 17.

One of the big advantages of online poker is the marriage between online satellites and live major online tournaments at real casinos. It’s most evident in satellites for the World Series of Poker each summer at the Rio in Las Vegas and at WSOP.com.

You may not know that the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City holds five major live tournament events a year, including spring, summer, fall and winter opens. And you can satellite your way into any of them.

Since October 7, the Borgata—with its partner Party Poker NJ—has been holding satellites for the 2019 Borgata Fall Poker Open, to be held in Atlantic City November 5–22. Online satellites run through November 17.

5 Bucks Gets You Started
For as little as $5, you can get in on what can only be called “satellites for the satellites.” Through November 7, play these daily satellites to win a $45 Borgata satellite entry. That gets you into daily satellites for the Open’s 600 buy-in opening event, which also runs through November 7 at 7:30 p.m.

The opening event of live Borgata tournaments, with a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000, usually brings out a massive field. It will be held November 6–7.

You can also play super-satellites for the Borgata Fall Open Championship tournament. The championship is a $1 million guaranteed event to be held November 16–21.

The satellites start at a $45 buy-in that wins a $400 buy-in for satellites to the championship. They will be held daily November 7–18 at 7:30 p.m.

Leveling Up
Satellites to the online championship will be held Saturdays and Sundays, November 9–10 and 16–17 at 7:40 p.m. The championship event itself has a $2,700 buy-in, and Borgata championship events usually draw a pretty impressive field of pros and talented amateurs.

Better yet, it’s not a winner-take-all satellite, as one in eight players win championship seats. For example, if 80 players play the event, the top 10 finishers win seats to the championship. In satellites to the opener, one in 10 players win seats.

And remember, satellites are still live poker tournaments with their own cash payouts.

Win Your Way In
Satellite wins don’t include travel expenses or a free stay at the Borgata, though the hotel does offer special deals for participants in the Fall Open. If you’ve ever dreamed of playing in a big-time tournament in Atlantic City, now’s your chance to win your way in.
