Tournament staff have made the opening announcements and play has begun in Day 2 of Event 3 in the Playground Poker Fall Classic, The $250 Frenzy ($225 + $25 NL Hold’em Re-entry). Action is sure to be very quick as the short stacks to start the night try to improve their position.

Coming up – Day 2 of the Frenzy

2014/11/17 6:05pm by
Tournament:

In just about an hour, the 285 players who managed to qualify through one of the SIX starting flights will have unbagged their chips and taken their seats around one of the 32 tables in play to start the night.

The bubble in the event will be reached with the players eliminated in 154th place, and though it may seem that it will take a long time to get there, experience with events of this scale and buy-in amount suggests that players will reach the bubble fairly quickly, as short stacks are eliminated to start the night and then huge stacks use their power to maintain the momentum.

Play tonight will continue for 12 levels and play will be 9-handed throughout. Blind levels will be 30 minutes long all evening.

Good luck to all of the players!
