Wednesday, January 21st, 2015

party_32x32In the United States, it can be difficult to find a good poker tournament to compete in online. New Jersey, Delaware and Nevada are the only states that offer online poker gaming.

Friday, February 14th, 2014

PartyPoker powered online poker site, Borgata Poker, is one of the few online poker sites available in the state of New Jersey.

This special edition of the tournament will take place on March 2nd, so players still have plenty of time to take part. The regular Sunday tournament is very popular but with the increase of the prize pool, the tournament is sure to be even more popular in March.

Poker pro Mike Sexton commented on the special tournament by stating that when PartyPoker entered the online gaming market of New Jersey, they wanted to promise the most lucrative and best tournament options available online. Sexton stated that with the $100k guarantee option, the site will be putting their money where their mouth is!

The last time the Sunday tournament took place, the site saw just over 370 players competing and the total prize pool was worth $69,000. More players are sure to sign up to compete in the $100,000 edition of the tournament and it will be interesting to see just how many more players compete in the event.

Players can easily sign up at the Borgata Poker site to take part in the special edition of the tournament, but players must be located within the borders of the state. New players to the site will be able to take part in the tournament as well as earn a $20 credit for being a new member.
