Ten players will cash in Event 9, and the bubble has been reached as Ryan Smith (12th place) and Francis Lamothe (11th place) have been eliminated from the tournament.

Ryan Smith deserves special recognition for the fact that overall he has been one of the strongest performers throughout the whole Playground Poker Spring Classic. We’re going to collect more detailed data on this, but from Event 1 to now he has consistently gone deep in event after event.

Here are some photos from Day 2 action in Event 9. The event is currently at level 17 (blinds 5K/10K) with 12 players left.
