It’s a little snowy – actually more slushy than snowy – outside but inside it’s warm and dry and the players are assembling to begin one of the most interesting and arguably one of the toughest challenges in the Playground Poker Fall Classic.
Today is Day 1 of the $1000 + $100 No Limit Hold’em Deepstack tournament. There were no satellites for this event, and there is no re-entry – and at the same time, many (if not most) of the travelling poker pros have already arrived in the Montreal area and are gearing up for the WPT Montreal. That combination always makes this event a very important poker challenge for all who enter. In past events like this one we have seen deep runs from WPT event champions, a WSOP Main Event winner, other WSOP bracelet winners, and online champions. The event has also been a platform for Playground regulars to shine…
All of that is set to get started in just minutes. Good luck to all of the players today!
