The Borgata in NJ ran their WPT event today. The room had over 400 players in it yesterday.
The managers did not expect to get the anount of volume that they did. 360 people played in the $500 buy in no limit tourney.
The Borgata spread a lot of high limit games. The Borgata spread a 150-300 pot limit game. One high roller won 10k from a tournament pro.If the high roller had more than 10k on the table the pro would have lost that also. The high roller just sat down to the game and walked into Aces. The pro had Queens. The high limit player played a few orbits and then left.
We also have the Miss America pageant in town and that has attracted new players to the poker rooms.
I played in a game last night with three players who travelled to watch the tournament live and to "try" poker.
I just thought I would share.
