Event 5 of the Borgata Winter Poker Open ($400 Big Stack No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry) is currently underway, and the scene is one to behold.
Hundreds of players continue to file in the room searching for their seats, recent eliminations are frantically returning from the cashier's cage to find their new tables after re-entering, and tournament officials are trying their best to keep everything organized.
Add in the amount of satellite tables being ran here in the Borgata Conference Room, as well as the conclusion of Event 3 with its own eight tables spread around the floor, and the atmosphere here is electric and exciting.
The recent 10-minute break has concluded and cards are back in the air.
