Two Events Planned for Atlantic City

Harrahs recently created the Harrahs Atlantic City Poker Tournament. Its all No Limit and has no championship event. I really don't understand what they are thinking. The main purpose of it is to generate satellites for the WSOP main event in Las Vegas. They should just bill it as such and make every tournament a feeder for a bracelet event.

I call bullshit, but they could turn it around if they followed my advice. Add some Pot Limit Omaha and smaller qualifiers to bracelet events that include hotel and air to Vegas.

Borgata is back at it with a $500,000 guarantee tourney that will happen the end of May and be a precursor to the Summer Open. These guarantee events always have nice turnouts and soft fields. A good place for people to get their poker legs before heading of the WSOP in Las Vegas.
