The 5-10 PL at Borgata was $500 minimum buy-in/no max when I played in it last month. A couple of the players had 10k or more at the table. I was there on a Sunday evening so it wasn't full, we were 5- or 6-handed for the 5 or so hours I played. It seemed to me that one or two of my opponents that night were simply very wealthy, and did not mind calling large bets with marginal hands. One gentleman I chatted with who plays it every weekend told me it's usually a very good game for the reason I observed.
