The players have now completed a full 8 levels of the 13 that will be played tonight in Day 1b. During the break we took the opportunity to find the chip leaders at this point in the tournament.

It’s important to remember that having a top 5 stack now does not necessarily predict having a top 5 stack at the end of the flight – only one player in the top 5 at this point in today’s Day 1a ended up in the top 5 by the end of level 13!

1. Joseph – 120K
2. Anthony Fiumidinisi – 88K
3. Joseph Zambito – 85K
4. Jean-Paul Zeidan – 83K
5. Kirk Sorensen, David Bolduc Hamel, David Elliott Marrache – 75K

Play is about half way through Day 1b now, and here are some photos we took of the field during the early action tonight.

Players in Event 1 Day 1b have completed the first 4 levels in Day 1b, the second flight in Event 1 of the Playground Poker Fall Classic. In tonight’s flight there were a total of 285 entries, which brings the total number of entries so far to 676. That many entries in just two of the four starting days means one thing for players: a huge prize pool is being built!

Play has now begun for the second of the 4 starting flights for Event 1, The Wild $150, here in the Playground Poker Fall Classic. This event is a next-day re-entry event, and players will take their best stack forward if they happen to qualify on multiple days. Which means that tonight’s flight will mix new players trying to qualify for the first time, some players who were eliminated earlier today in Day 1a, as well as (rarely) a few players who qualified for Day 2 this morning but with a stack they feel is smaller than they would like to start with on Day 2.

Play will continue tonight through 13 30-minute levels with breaks after every 4th level. Late registration is open until the end of the break following level 4, which means players still have 2 hours to arrive at Playground Poker Club to join the event.

Tonight at 7pm will see the start of the second of four starting flights in The Wild $150. Action gets underway in just over one hour from now, and we’ll be following the action from start to finish here on the Playground Poker Live Event Blog.

Capacity for Day 1b is 350 entries plus alternates, and with over two hours available for late registration, there’s still a lot of time to make your way to Playground and jump in the action!
