We’re about 20 minutes away from the beginning of Day 2 of Event 5, $1000 + $100 No Limit Hold’em Deepstack in the Playground Poker Spring Classic. Just 41 players remain from the 252 that started yesterday, and to get to Day 2 each of them managed to get past an incredibly strong field.
There are some great players still in contention in the event as well. Just from a rough count, there are at least a half-dozen certified online monsters still playing, some of the best of the Montreal tournament scene, a few members of the unofficial “Team Quebec Poker”, a member of Playground Poker’s Players Club, and you can’t forget the 2010 WSOP Main Event Champion, Jonathan Duhamel.
Day 2 will start at level 15 (Blinds 2K/4K/a400). Chip average is 153.7K and there are a total of 6.3M chips in play.
