BetMGM Poker launches the $6 million guaranteed "Big, Big Series" tournament in Borgata.

BetMGM Poker is launching the Big, Big Series in Borgata from September 13th to 23rd, with total guaranteed prizes exceeding $6 million. The $5,300 tournament guarantees $3 million, while the $2,200 Kick Off guarantees $1 million.

BetMGM Poker has had a busy summer, and the operator hasn't slowed down as September approaches.

In July, BetMGM Poker hosted the Borgata Summer Poker Open in Atlantic City, offering over $4 million in guaranteed prize money across a tight schedule. The poker action then moved to Maryland in August with the Potomac Summer Poker Open at MGM National Harbor, featuring 23 events and over $1.5 million in guaranteed prize money across 14 million.

Now, BetMGM Poker is returning to its home casino, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, to launch the biggest series of the summer.

The "Big, Big Series," sponsored by BetMGM Poker, will be held from September 13 to 23, with a total guaranteed prize pool of over $6 million, to celebrate the first anniversary of the BetMGM Poker tournament room in Borgata.

And as its name suggests, Borgata will bring a "large" scale. Very "large".

$3 million championship leads the Big Series

The largest portion of the over $6 million guaranteed prize pool belongs to the $5,300 BetMGM Poker Big, Big tournament, which offers a $3 million guaranteed prize pool.

The tournament will kick off with Group A on September 19 at 12:15 noon, followed by Group B on September 20 at the same time, and Group C on September 21.

Players who successfully advance from the starting group will return to Day Two on September 22nd, but players do not necessarily need to participate in Day One to participate. Registration will remain open until the start of Day Two, after which the tournament will proceed to Day Three on September 23rd.

Before the tournament begins, $2,200 Big, Big Kick Off will kick off the festival with its first seven-figure guaranteed prize.

There are only two starting groups, both on September 14th, at 11:15 AM and 6:15 PM. Players advancing from either group will return the following afternoon to compete for a share of the $ 1 million guaranteed prize pool.

Additionally, the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool is also available in the $2,200 Big, Big Borgata Mystery Bounty Tournament, which also features two starting groups, followed by the second day on September 17th.

Big, Big Baller brings high-stakes players to Borgata.

The $10,200 BetMGM Poker Big, Big Baller event on September 17th will significantly raise the level of the tournament.

This two-day tournament offers a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000, and registration will remain open until the second day of the tournament, September 18th. The tournament schedule also states that the entry fee is covered by BetMGM Poker.

Furthermore, there is a way to enter this five-figure event with a minimum of $10,200 full credit.

The $1,100 Big, Big Baller Milestone Qualifier will be held on September 15th at 7:15 PM, with one in ten players winning a Baller slot.

Then, on the day the tournament begins, the Big, Big Baller knockout stage will be held from noon to 6:00 p.m. on September 17.

Hybrid gaming, PLO, and a wealth of daily events

The schedule also includes many events in addition to large No-Limit Texas Hold'em tournaments.

The series will kick off on September 13 with $1,100 Big, Big Welcome: HORSE, a two-day event offering a guaranteed prize pool of $25,000.

Two days later, mixed gamers can return to E-Tay's $2,500 Big, Big 9 Game Mix, another two-day event offering a guaranteed prize pool of $150,000.

Omaha players will also have their turn on September 18th in the $2,200 Big, Big Pot-Limit Omaha (8-max). The tournament offers a guaranteed prize pool of $200,000 and concludes the following day.

For players who want to enter and exit quickly and leave with substantial prize money, the series features several single-day tournaments.

The $1,100 Big, Big Single-Day Tournament, featuring a banker event, will take place on September 15th with a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000, meaning one in ten players will win $10,000. The $1,100 Big, Big Single-Day Tournament, a timed quick event, will follow on September 18th, also offering a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000.

The series will conclude with two single-day events on September 22. The $5,100 Big, Big BetMGM Series Savior Survivor event guarantees at least three winners, with one in ten players winning $50,000. The $1,100 Big, Big Bye Finale will then conclude the festival with another $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.

2026 Borgata Big, Big Series Schedule

50 tournament seats are waiting for you to win!

The $5,300 tournament may be unaffordable for some fund sizes, but Borgata offers several ways to enter this $3 million guaranteed prize pool event at a lower cost.

At least 50 slots will be awarded in three exclusive $600 Championship qualifiers.

The first tournament will be held on September 18th, guaranteeing 25 spots. The Big, Big Second Chance Tournament qualifier the following day will guarantee another 15 spots, followed by the Big, Big Last Chance Tournament qualifier on September 20th, which will offer an additional 10 spots.

This gives players three chances to win a seat in the series' biggest tournament with a $600.

The SuperSatellite Series kicks off on Sunday.

Players can start competing for a spot in the Big, Big Series from day one of the series.

The SuperSatellite Contest will be held on Sunday, September 13, with milestone qualifiers taking place every hour from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

There will be a 1-in-10 qualifier for $250, which grants entry to any $2,200 event, while a 1-in-10 qualifier for $140 provides a seat to any $1,100 tournament. There will also be a $1,000 Borgata Big 3 event at 4 PM.

This arrangement is particularly useful considering that many key tournaments fall within these two buy-in ranges—including the $1 million guaranteed Kick Off, the $500,000 mystery bounty tournament, and the $200,000 PLO event (both $2,200).

$500 Super Fast Race every night

After being eliminated from a tournament, there was another opportunity to return to the table later that day.

From September 17th to September 22nd, Borgata will host a $500 No-Limit Texas Hold'em Super Turbo tournament every night at 7:45 PM.

This provides players with six additional tournaments on top of the already scheduled 14 numbered events, satellite tournaments, and qualifiers.

Participated in the entire Big, Big Series

For players planning to participate from the very first hand to the end of the tournament, Borgata is also offering hotel deals covering the entire festival.

The Big, Big Stay & Play Bonus offers a 10-night stay for $999 USD (plus taxes and resort fees), with check-in on September 13 and check-out on September 23.

Gold+ MGM Rewards members can enjoy free resort fees, while Borgata says there are also discounted rates for short stays.

The full 10-night offer must be booked on or before August 29 using the promotional code BIGBIG, while supplies last.
