Some praise…

At Playground Poker our goal is always to provide the best poker experience you can find in the world – and that goes for big events like the WPT Canadian Spring Championship as well as an every day $60 tournament and of course for cash games. It’s always nice to read or hear when players (other players – we’re all players too) give us great feedback.

Level 13 update

Day 2 is 15 minutes into the third level of the day and of the 294 players who started today the field is down to 204 who will be playing for 10 hour-long levels total today.

Of the high-profile players in the field, Players Club member Trishelle Cannatella, Joe Serock, and Darryll Fish have busted so far, and frequent Playground players Ben Menache, Dany Hamel-Boulay, Jonathan G (Jon14), Jino Veizi, and Garen Galenti have also been eliminated.
