New Jersey’s online poker sites—including WSOP.com’s partnership with WSOP in Nevada and 888 poker in Delaware—offer up a pretty steady diet of tournament play. But this month, both WSOP.com and BorgataPoker.com—along with Borgata’s partner PartyPoker—are upping the ante with special tournament events October 14 to 21.
That’s right, WSOP.com and its partners are going head-to-head with Borgata and its partners for a solid week. For tournament players, it’s a selection of tournament options like you’ve never seen before.

Not to be outdone, however, is BorgataPoker, which is holding its Fall Garden State Super Series (GSSS) October 14 to 21. The series has more than $450,000 in guarantees spread over 24 events.
The series starts off with a $215 buy-in, $65,000 guranteed event and ends with a $100,000 guranteed main event on October 21 (buy-in $320). The 24 events offer an impressive mix of games, including bounty tournaments and turbo tournaments. There are also qualifiers for the first event and the main event.
Borgata also has a high roller tournament on October 21 with a $50,000 guarantee and a $1,060 buy-in.
The Garden State Super Series has become BorgataPoker‘s trademark online event, and they’re celebrating the fall installment by offering a leaderboard for players. The leaderboard runs for all events and awards tournament tickets and entries into major GSSS events.
