A record 3,705 players are taking part in this year’s Borgata Poker Open at the Atlantic City casino with the same name. 

The 10th annual tournament will feature just shy of a $1.9 million prize pool. 

Last year, a mere 1,8000 took part in the $500 buy-in tournament. 

The 15-day event, which kicked off last Tuesday, will culminate with a winner on Saturday taking home more than $300,000.  The rest of the prize money will be divided among the top 199 players.
