Daily satellites have started this week and will run until October 26th, and you can qualify for as little as $1.10. At least one player will end the month with a fantastic $4,200 prize package, including a seat in the Main Event (where they can play for a share of a million dollars), five nights' accommodation at the Borgata itself, and a generous $600 for travel expenses.
The Main Event is part of a huge festival of poker, and last year the prizepool hit the $1.5m mark. "Last year's Main Event winner walked away with more than $350,000 so there is serious money at stake," Intertops' poker manager said.

The Borgata $1m GTD Main Event comes hot on the heels of the Caribbean Poker Tour (CPT), where Intertops and Juicy Stakes satellite winners will be getting a piece of the action. The two qualifiers are blogging about their achievements, and about the upcoming CPT tournament in St Maarten, at their 'Living the Dream' poker blog.
