Borgata Poker Classic

I was hired by the Borgata in Atlantic City to perform live blogging duties for them. Most likely it will happen here (with a small possibility that I do it on their main site). On Thursday I head down to AC for a two week assignment.

Last year, I joined a production company headed up by a friend of mine, Michael Friedman, called Massive Impact Productions (MIP). The Borgata hired our company to help them run their Winter poker tournament. One of the services that our company MIP provides is tournament reporting and that's where I come in. This is obviously a major step for me and MIP. I have never been directly hired by a casino before, especially one as big as the Borgata. Check back over the next two weeks for random Borgata Winter Open updates.

The Borgata Winter Open is a series of 10 tournaments. All but one are No Limit, including a $300 Ladies Only NL event and the $10K main event championship called the Borgata Winter Open. It's also a stop on the World Poker Tour. Everything starts on Friday and it should be a lot of fun.
