2026 Borgata Fall Poker Open tournament series starts in November

The Borgata Fall Poker Open festival opens its doors again this November. Held from November 4 to 17 at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, the festival will offer tournament poker over two weeks. With a guaranteed prize pool of more than 4 million dollars, the event includes options for many different player profiles at the BetMGM-owned property.

Each of the festival's three largest tournaments guarantees at least 500 thousand dollars. The regular Chainsaw Mixed Series is also returning. The series is designed for those who prefer games other than No-Limit Texas Hold'em. The schedule also includes the Bar Poker Open, where newcomers and returning players can experience tournament play in the casino setting.

The festival gets underway with the 600 dollar Fall Deep Stack Starter tournament starting on November 4. This tournament has a 1 million dollar guarantee, and players return for Day 2 on November 7. The champion will be decided on November 8. The 350 dollar Mini Main Event carries a 500 thousand dollar guarantee and offers many chances to survive into Day 2.

The festival's highest buy-in event is the 2,700 dollar Borgata Fall Poker Open Championship. The tournament begins on November 13 with a 1 million dollar guarantee. The final table will be played on November 17 and will be broadcast live.
