Pennsylvania online poker players will have a chance to satellite their way into the upcoming Borgata Fall Mini-Series taking place at the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in New Jersey on November 14 — 18. The series has a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000, but online qualifiers are available for as little as $10.
On November 12 and 13, BetMGM Poker PA and Borgata Poker PA will host online satellites, allowing players to qualify for two flagship events, the $2500 Main Event, and the $800 Saturday Super Series.
These qualifiers represent a great opportunity for all PA online poker fans who would like a change of pace to try and win a seat in live tournaments that promise handsome guarantees and plenty of action at the tables.
- Up to $75 worth of MTT tickets
- Great range of games across all stakes
- Players play on BetMGM network, which has shared MI and NJ player pools
Step Satellites for Every Bankroll
Players looking to win their seats in one or both of these tournaments have a choice in how they want to tackle things. The direct qualifier for the Main Event costs $215 to enter, while the one for the Saturday Super Series is $100.
However, if direct buy-ins are out of your bankroll’s scope, step satellites are also available. For the Main Event satellite, there are two steps, $2 and $20; for the Super Series, there is just one $10 step awarding $100 direct qualifier tickets.
| Date | Satellite | Buyin | Step 1 | Step 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 12 | Main Event Satellite | $215 | $2 | $20 |
| November 13 | Super Saturday Series Satellite | $100 | $10 | N/A |
Main satellites for both tournaments offer unlimited re-entries, so those with deeper pockets can take as many shots as they like. Registration for target tournaments is available from poker clients, so those who win entries can register for the tournaments online and will not have to wait in line at the venue.
This option is also available to other players who can buy into all Borgata Fall Mini-Series events online using cash in their accounts.
It is important to mention that satellites are for tournament entries only, so the winners must take care of travel and accommodation independently. Additionally, players reserving their seats online cannot unregister from the tournaments. Players winning their Main Event seats via the online satellite will be registered for Day 1A.

The $2500 Main Event features two starting days (1A and 1B) on November 15 and 16. Day 2 takes place on November 17, and the final day is Saturday, November 18.
One standout tournament on the Mini-Series schedule is the Survivor Event, which features a non-standard payout structure. In this particular event, 1 in 10 players is guaranteed to win $10,000.
In addition to online qualifiers, there will be live satellites happening at the venue, so PA poker players who win their seats online but happen to bust early will still have time to try and win last-minute Main Event seats to take another shot.
