Late registration is over in Day 1c, today’s 3rd of 5 starting flights in the 5-Year Extravaganza event, and the 4pm starting flight attracted a total of 156 players, which adds up to 512 total entries in the event so far.

Day 1a is in the books
With the elimination of Marc Touloute in 13th place, the 10% target of 1 players has been reached in Day 1a and all of those who remain have qualified to return on Day 2 (Monday Dec 21).
Sebastien St-Onge did the dirty work in the hand. He opened to 13K and Marc raised all in – for just 18K. With only 5K to add to the pot, Sebastien made the call.

The flop kept Marc’s Ace-high in the lead: 
but the 
on 4th street turned the tables, and the 
on the river couldn’t put Marc back in the lead – Sebastien stacked the chips.
We’ll publish full results of Day 1a as soon as they are made available.
Just 2 more to go!
Play in Day 1a will be suspended with 12 players remaining – 10% of the 116 players who began this flight at 10am. Currently the tournament is currently hovering at 14 players remaining, meaning that just 2 more players must be eliminated before the action wraps up for the day!
The 5th Anniversary Cake!
One of the highlights of every anniversary here at Playground Poker Club is the unveiling of the cake! This year’s version was made by our friend Fadi and his team at wow Cakes, who have once again outdone themselves.
Words can’t adequately describe the great job they have done – only photographs can do it justice!

Day 1c has begun
As Days 1a and 1b continue, the third starting flight today has begun, and with late registration still open, there are 135 entries so far. Players can register for this flight until the end of the break following level 4 – which will be at about 5:30pm.
Day 1b update
Players in Day 1b have taken a break and we found that Yvon Robert Blais has a wide lead on the field – he’s already playing over 100K in chips! Day 1b will play down to 24 players remaining tonight (10% of the starting field in the flight).
Day 1c in 20 minutes!
The third of the 10 starting flights in the 5-Year Extravaganza is set to begin in just about 20 minutes – at 4pm this afternoon. So far the numbers have been impressive – there were 116 players in the morning flight that started at 10am, and another 240 in the first afternoon flight that began at 1pm.
Today’s Day 1a flight will play down to 12 players, and it has dropped to 25 players so it’s starting to move towards a conclusion. On the other hand, of the 240 players that started Day 1b, there are still 140 players at the tables – so there’s a long way to go to get to 10% of the field.
240 players turn-up for Day 1B
Late registration has just closed here in Day 1B of the 5-Year Extravaganza, and a total of 240 players have registered to this second of ten flights, including hockey legend Larry Robinson. Combined with Day 1A, this tournament now has a total of 356 entries after two flights.
Anyone wishing to participate in this featured tournament of the Playground Anniversary Series can do so by registering in any of the 8 remaining starting flights. The next one is scheduled today at 4pm, with another one starting at 7pm, and a turbo edition at 10pm.
