The first event of the Playground Anniversary Series has begun and so far 26 players are at the tables for today’s $60 + $10 Win the Button Re-entry tournament. This tourney will kick off 6 days of events, including $220 and $550 Deepstack events and the insane 5-Year Extravaganza and it’s 10 – yes, 10 – Day 1 starting flights!
The Win the Button event is a pretty big change from a regular HL Hold’em event, in that if you win a hand, you play from the dealer button on the following hand! Players who like to play lots of hands – and do so successfully – will enjoy position in many more hands than usual, an important advantage! At the same time, a player who tries to win too many pots will not gain position and could lose a lot of chips in the effort!
This is a re-entry event and players are permitted to enter or re-enter the event any time until the end of the first break, after level 4. On the clock, that means that players have until 1:30pm to join the tournament.
Good luck everyone!
