Tonight is the second of 4 starting flights in the 8-Year Anniversary edition of the Playground 200, a $200 + $20 NL Hold’em tournament. Last night’s Day 1A attracted 140 entries and there was also an online flight on Sunday that welcomed 44 more to the event – so there have been a total of 184 entries so far. The goal of everyone tonight is the same: make it through 14 levels of 30 minutes each and bag up chips to take to Day 2 in the event.
Late registration is open in this event until the beginning of level 7 – in practical terms, this means players have until 10:15pm to join. As well, this is a re-entry tournament, so anyone who is eliminated in the first 6 levels may re-enter – in fact, there is already one re-entry tonight.
There are a few players in the field already tonight that have distinguished themselves by their skilled play in the past – one of the interesting story lines will be to see if any of these players can make it through! These players include Thierry Blanc, David Bonneau, Sebastien “Seabass” Drolet-Poitras, Linda Huard, and Michael Khan – among others.
Good luck to everyone playing tonight!
