  • Players have begun the final level to be played today and there are a couple of interesting stories beginning to emerge.

    First, two of the three top chip leaders in the tournament at this point are at the same table. Mark Fitzpatrick and Jeff Côté – both of whom have made deep runs or won major events at Playground in the past – are both hovering around stacks of about 225K in chips. They are the two clear leaders in the event at this point, and that table (Table 54) could prove dangerous for anyone who is moved there.

    The second interesting story is that the third leader at this point – Ramzi Karam – is fresh off a very deep run in Event 1 in this series.
