Day 1A in the Playground 500 has passed through its initial 2 levels of play today and players continue to join at a steady rate. There are several well-known (to us) players from out of town here today, including Armand King aka “The Oyster King”, Gary Lucci, Peter Johnston Messer and Mitcheal Ferguson – as well as a pretty decent crew of well-known locals as well including Carter Swidler, Thomas Lefort, Louis Boutin, and many more.

Here are some photos from levels 1 & 2

Live flights in the Playground 500 start today!

- by

Today is the beginning of Live flights in the marquee event of the Playground Poker 7 Year Anniversary celebrations – the Playground 500! The tournament is a $500 + $50 NL Hold’em Re-entry tournament with a huge $250,000 Guarantee!

The Playground 500 featured one online Day 1 and will include 3 Live Day 1s. Each Day 1 starting flight features unlimited re-entry during the first 8 levels of play – levels are 30 minutes long, which means that players have until 3:30pm this afternoon to enter or re-enter the event.

The Online Day 1 was held on December 10th and there were 7 Day 2 qualifiers out of a total of 41 entries. Live Day 1s begin with Day 1A at 11:00am this morning, and then will continue on Saturday with Day 1B at 11:00am and Day 1C at 7:00pm. Tonight (Friday night) there is a second Mega Overlay Satellite into the event. The first Mega Overlay on Thursday night awarded a total of 26 seats into the event – 16 seats generated by the field size and 10 more ADDED to the prize pool!

Action gets underway in 30 minutes. Players will begin with 500K stacks and play today will continue through 14 levels. At that time, the remaining players will bag up their chips to return to play in Day 2 on Sunday.

Good luck to all!
