It sure is cold and snowy in the Northeast, but that only means there's plenty of fun to be had at the various tournament series that are coming up on the East Coast. Much like our Las Vegas Grinder article, PokerNews is here with your guide to the best series to grind. Coming up at the end of January and on into February are the Borgata Winter Open 2011 at the Borgata in Atlantic City, the Mega Stack Challenge XIX held at Foxwoods in Connecticut and the Presidents Day Holiday Special also held at Foxwoods. All of these series offer a range of events with extremely affordable buy-ins, so be sure to take advantage of it.

For those with a larger appetite, there are a few $500+ events including a $1,090 No-Limit Hold'em, a $2,150 No-Limit Hold'em Heads Up, a $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em and a $1,090 No-Limit Hold’em Six Max.
Then, January 30, the $3,500 Championship Event starts. Borgata always draws large crowds for these events, including the Championship Event, which has a massive $2,000,000 guarantee on it.
