Event 3: Limited Field

$300 + $50 Limit Hold'em

Riccobono Ready for Redemption

A lot of regular No Limit players are taking a crack at the Limit tournament.

"This is great," says Al Riccobono (Ossining, NY), who finished 2nd in the 2009 Borgata Poker Open Limit Event. "I haven't had a chance to play this in awhile."

His nemesis, Norman Whitely (Newark, DE), who beat Riccobono heads up, is also in the tournament. Also in the field are Borgata regulars Jason Young (Suffern, NY) and Howard Wolper (Atlantic City, NJ).

Players start with 10,000 chips and Levels 1-4 each last 30 minutes (Levels 5+ are 40 min.).
