East Coast poker will be back in the spotlight next week when BetMGM hosts Lions of the Atlantic, a sprawling $2 million tournament with 14 flights spread across two properties.
The $600 buy-in will run Day 1 flights at MGM National Harbor and Borgata from October 8–17, with the fields combining in Atlantic City on Oct. 18 to play Day 2. Day 3 will wrap the tournament on Sunday, Oct. 19.
MGM National Harbor will welcome the first half of Lions of the Atlantic. 14 flights, $2 million
Mega multi-flight action pushes off at MGM National Harbor on Wednesday, Oct. 8 with the first two of seven flights at the property. An early bird 10:15am heat will start things off before the second pack comes in at 5:15pm. That schedule repeats on Thursday before three more morning flights are spread throughout the rest of the weekend.
All roads lead to Borgata. After seven flights in Maryland, the game shifts to Atlantic City for seven more starting on Tuesday, Oct. 14. A 11:15am/5:15pm split continues for three days before last call on Friday, Oct. 17 at 10:15am.
