It took just one hand before the first player was eliminated in 15th place tonight. David Martinez started the day with just 10bb and when he looked down at a pocket pair, he was instantly all-in. Cynthia Paquette – second in chips to start today – instantly called and the showdown was on.

did nothing to change David’s fate – he was eliminated in 15th place.

The words “it’s a marathon, not a sprint” apply to many things in life, and a poker tournament with 10 starting flights is certainly one of them! It took a long time to get to this point – two full days of starting flights plus 10 full levels yesterday – and now the players are ready to start with Day 3 of the tournament.
Just 15 players remain at this point, and the next payout will be for $1000 – going up all the way to $18,000 for the eventual winner of the tourney! Not a bad prize for (possibly) an $80 investment.
Good luck to everyone today!
Just 15 players remain in contention for the big prizes in the 5-Year Extravaganza tournament at Playground Poker Club, and the tourney will resume at 7pm on Tuesday evening – December 22nd – to play to its conclusion. There has been a full seating redraw – the new seating chart is presented in the table below.
Good luck to all who remain!
