Allen Kessler's Chainsaw Mixed Series of Poker will make its Atlantic City debut at Borgata from November 4 to 14. The newly announced schedule places the festival inside the wider Borgata Fall Poker Open and builds the programme around variants beyond no-limit hold'em.

Two $1,100 championship events anchor the stop. The H.O.R.S.E. Championship starts November 5 with a $25,000 guarantee and concludes the following day. The T.O.R.S.E. Championship begins November 12, carries a $35,000 guarantee and plays to a winner on November 13.

The remaining tournaments have $600 buy-ins and cover Omaha hi-lo, stud hi-lo, pot-limit Big O, O.E., T.O.E., H.O.R.S.E. and an eight-game mix. A Triple-Triple Draw event combining ace-to-five, deuce-to-seven and Badugi closes the series on November 14.

Borgata lists its Fall Poker Open for November 4 to 17 and says tournament seating will be limited, with registration opening one hour before each event. The broader festival carries more than $4 million in guarantees, while the mixed-game stop accounts for the two dedicated championship guarantees announced so far.
