The players in Day 1d of Event 1 of the Playground Poker Fall Classic are back from their first break of the day and with the end of the break comes the end of late registration on this, the last of the four starting flights in Event 1. The final number of entries tonight grew to 405, which adds up to 1464 total entries over the four Day 1s. Staff is working to confirm both the number and the Event’s prize pool, which we’ll be able to release shortly.

In the first four levels tonight just two players managed to build up extra-large stacks: Rick Shamshoum and Francis Karl Dubé are both sitting on stacks greater than 80K. The usual caution applies, however – there’s lot of poker to be played before the night is over.

Here are a few more photos from the first four levels tonight.
