The final trophy event of the 2018 Fall Poker Open is underway here in the Temporary Tournament Area, at the extra-early hour of 10am.
Players get 35,000 chips to start and all levels are 30 minutes long. Players can also opt for the $5 dealer toke add-on, which gets them an extra 5,000 chips.
Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of level 11, which should fall at about 3:45pm. This is a one-day event, so they’ll play until a winner is determined.
Cards are in the air!
The 2018 Fall Poker Open will begin on Election Day, Tuesday, November 6th, with the first two trophy events. Event 1 (Kick-Off Flight A) and Event 2 (Omaha/Stud High/Low Mix) begin at 11am and 3pm, respectively.
The Kickoff event carries a $500,000 Guarantee on total buy-ins and will surely draw a big crowd with five starting flights, which are spread over the first three days of the series:
Flight A: Tuesday, Nov. 6th, 11am
Flight B: Wednesday, Nov. 7th, 11am
Flight C: Wednesday, Nov. 7th, 5pm
Flight D: Thursday, Nov. 8th, 10am
Flight E: Thursday, Nov. 8th, 6pm
Days 2 and 3 will follow at 12 noon Friday and Saturday.

John Lytle took 1st place in this event last year, besting a field of 1,618 runners to claim $114,833 in a four-way adjusted payout agreement.
The Omaha/Stud High/Low Mix event has become a staple of the Open Series and has locked up the #2 slot on the series schedule since the 2018 Spring Poker Open last April. It was Event 13 during last year’s Fall Open, when Nate Parenti beat out Chris Reslock for the OE H/L title. That’s just the start of the 16-day series, which runs through Thanksgiving Eve. The Almighty Stack headlines the second week with a $300,000 Guarantee.
The final week will see a shortened Fall Poker Open Championship with a $1 Million Guarantee. It starts with Flight A on Saturday, one day earlier than usual, and the finale will be live-streamed on Wednesday, November 21st.

Last year’s FPO Championship title and more than $293,000 was claimed by three-time World Poker Tour Champion Darren Elias, who joined the short-list of players who hold two Borgata Open Series Championship wins. The field of 473 entrants created a prize pool in excess of $1.1 million.
Eighteen trophy events will take place during the series with all the best events returning this year. The Black Chip Bounty is in the #3 slot at the end of the first week, a Saturday Series takes place each weekend, and the $1,000 SixMax NLH wraps up the second week of the series. Each of these events carries a $100,000 Guarantee on total buy-ins.
The first Sunday of the series, November 11th, will start off with the always-popular Seniors Event at 10am. Since that also happens to be Veterans Day, at 12 noon there is a special Veteran’s Day Charity Event benefiting the Disabled American Veterans, (DAV) Atlantic City Chapter 10. The $200+$30+10 Deeper Stack has a $25,000 Guarantee and the $10 donation goes to the DAV, fulfilling our promises to the men and women who served.
The Old School Freeze-Out (no re-entry) event, which debuted during the Borgata Poker Open in September, returns this series as a two-day event. There’s also a HORSE-ament, which hasn’t been held in November since the 2015 FPO. Click here for the full schedule of Main Events.
The FPO will take place in the temporary Tournament Area, (TTA) which worked out well as a substitute for the Event Center during September’s Borgata Poker Open. If needed, tables in the Poker Room will also be used.
