Today is the third event in the Playground Anniversary Series, and the last tournament before tomorrow’s 5-Year Extravaganza! The tourney today is a $500 + $50 NL Hold’em Deepstack tournament – and we could have added “Freezeout” to the name as well, because there are no rebuys or re-entries today – everyone who joins the event will play one buy-in.
Players start today with 25K in chips and blinds will be 30 minutes long throughout the tournament. It’s a single day event, so play will continue today and tonight until a winner emerges!
Today’s starting time of 11am is always a bit of a challenge for poker players, who tend to keep later hours, and so far there are 38 early bird players in the tourney. Late registration is open until the end of the break after level 4 – in other words, until 1:15pm – and we expect a good number of players to jump in during late reg.
