Borgata Winter Open: Event #7 Ladies NL and Event #6 $1,500 NL Day 2 & Final Table

We're back for action at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City. Today is a special day... it's the Ladies Event where some of the best female poker players are at the Borgata looking to take down Event #7.

I apologize for any technical difficulties that the Tao of Poker encountered last night. Unfortunately, I ran into one problem that duct tape couldn't solve! Not to fear, everything is back to normal.

The friendly staff here is running single table and multi-table satellites around the clock upstairs in the ballroom along with a daily Second Chance MTT cash tournament. With several juicy cash games are going on downstairs in the main poker room, the Borgata is the place to be over the next week. And every day there are two different Winter Poker Open tournaments ongoing, so sure to take a peek at the Super Satellite Schedule along with the Winter Poker Open Schedule of events.

Here's a quick link to the Borgata's SNG information. Plus this Saturday is Super Satellite Day, so if you want to get into the $10K main event for a lot cheaper, stop by Saturday to play in one of the sats.

Several pros have been trickling into the Borgata over the past 24-48 hours. Kathy Liebert, Andy Black, David Levi, and Joanne Liu have all popped into the ballroom to play in different sattelittes and events. I expect more to come over the next few days. Plus, 2005 WSOP main event runner up, Steve Dannemann, cashed in two consecutive events. He's currently second in chips in Event #6, which will conclude today 2pm.

Last night, L.A. native David Daneshgar took down Event #5 $1K NL and walked away with a bracelet.
