Event 9 of the Playground Poker Spring Classic is about to start. This is a $500 + $50 Pot Limit Omaha “3 Lives” tournament. What’s special about this event is that each player starts with three “life chips” each of which represents 10K in chips. Players can use an extra life chip whenever they like in the first four levels of play. So it someone starts with 10K they can choose to play that and leave 2 lives “behind” – or a different approach would be to cash in all of your life chips at once and start the tournament with 30K.
