We’ve just heard our TD announce the start of the tournament, and with that, cards are in the air here in Day 2 of The Wild $150, the opening event of the Playground Poker Fall Classic presented by Partypoker.net.
339 players are back to battle it out on the felts, but only one will become our Event 1 Champion! The road is still long and full danger for our eventual champion, as two more full nights of poker lay ahead. Day 2 is schedule to play for 13 levels of 30 minutes, after which the tournament will pause until tomorrow night, where we will play down to our winner.
The $188,437.00 prize pool is divided up into 135 prizes, ranging from a min-cash of $280 to a whopping first place prize of $34,000. This does however mean that 204 players out of tonights field will unfortunately go home empty handed, but such is the nature of tournament poker. On the bright side, today is Wicked Wednesday here at Playground Poker Club, which means an early exit from the tournament could lead to a high-hand score on the cash tables!
Stay tuned for live updates throughout the night via our Playground Poker Club Blog. You can also keep up with live chip counts by following the “Live Counts – Event 1 Day 2” button found near the top right of the page. If you wish to find out a specific player’s stack, you can send us a Tweet with your request to @PlaygroundPoker, and we will do our best to get back to you as soon as we can.
Good luck to all the players here in Day 2!
