After 6 starting flights over 3 days, The $250 Frenzy is now moving on to the next phase: Day 2. Of the 1,366 total entries that took place, 286 qualified for Day 2 including one player who qualified through two starting flights (Timothy Deering), whose smaller stack has been retired from play. This leaves 285 players who will resume play when the tournament re-starts on Day 2.
Of these, 135 players can expect a cash prize. With the final prize pool totalling $298,129.00, a cool $50,000 is reserved for the eventual winner, who will also take home a Playground Poker Fall Classic Champion’s Trophy and an entry in the Champion’s Freeroll during the upcoming Playground Winter Festival.
Day 2 begins on November 7th, at 7pm sharp, and will continue for 12 levels of play. Everyone who has qualified will need to bring a valid piece of ID with them to their place at the table for the restart.
The biggest stack to return to the felts tomorrow will be that of Kosta Papa, who won a massive 462,000 pot to end his Day 1f flight. He leads second in chips Ruben Perceval by nearly a 100,000 margin.
