The Survivors!

The players came to an agreement with 19 players remaining to end the tournament at that point and chop the prize pool. The “scheduled” finish would have been at 12 players (10% of the 120 player field).

Congratulations to all of the winners!

  • Event 8 in the Playground Poker Fall Classic has just begun. This is a $300 + $30 No Limit Hold’em Survivor tournament. This is not a bracelet event – but it should provide a nice prize to the players who make it to the end.

    A “survivor” tournament is a bit different than a normal poker tournament. Instead of playing down to a winner, in this format when 10% of the field remains, the tournament stops and the remaining players divide the prize pool equally.

    There’s still about 50 minutes left to register, so come and join the fun!
