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.
Cards are in the air!

Coming up – Day 2 of the Frenzy
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!
Event 3 Day 2 – seating draw & counts
There were a total of 1,332 entries over the 6 Day 1s in Event 3, the $250 Frenzy, at Playground Poker Club. A total of 287 entries qualified for Day 2, but two of those (Douglas Mackie and Norman Gauthier) were players who qualified twice. Those two players have had their smaller stacks retired from play, which leaves 285 players that will be seated to start Day 2, tonight at 7pm.
Here is the full seating draw for Day 2 including player-reported chip counts for each player.

The fifth starting flight of Event 3, The $250 Frenzy, has now entered its final level of the day and there are still 73 players at the tables trying to survive and qualify for Day 2 on Monday.
The chip leaders have remained quite consistent since the last update, although Marc-André Racine (250K) has moved from among the leaders to become the definitive chip leader with 25 minutes left to play.
Here are some photos of the large stacks as well as some other “interesting” stacks.

Tournament staff is removing the green T25 chips from play and during the 2nd break of the day and we took the time to find the current chip leaders in this flight.
- Armen Afarian – 172K
- Phil Breault – 108K
- Marc-André Racine – 105K
- Jean-Louis Arseneau – 95K
There’s still a long way to go during the day, however, and lots of time for anyone in the field to take over the chip leadership.
A leader is emerging
- Level: 8
- Small Blind: 300
- Big Blind: 600
- Ante: 75

Day 1e hasn’t even reached its second break of the day but a strong chip leader has already emerged. Armen Afarian has accumulated over 160K while the average remains at just over 35K. We’ll be following his progress to see if he can retain such a strong lead through the afternoon.
Play is in level 5
- Level: 5
- Small Blind: 150

The end of the first break also brought the end of late registration today, and Day 1e has attracted a total of 264 entries in Event 3, which brings the total across all Day 1s (so far) to 1,001 entries. Every entry in Day 1f this evening at 7:30pm will just add more cash to an already strong prize pool!
Here are some photos of players before the break.
Players are on break
- Level: 4

Players in Day 1e of Event 3 are finishing up their last hand before a 10-minute break. The end of this break will also bring late registration to a close, but there are still a few players arriving with seating coupons so we won’t have a final number of entries for today’s flight until after the break.
