Event 5 in the Playground Poker Fall Classic presented by partypoker.net is a $1,000 + $100 NL Hold’em Deepstack Freeze that began at 11:00am on November 8th and will resume at 12:00pm on Wednesday November 9th. There were a total of 243 players in the event, and of those just 40 will return to play when action resumes.
The chip leader to start Day 2 will be Jason Conforti with 377,000 in tournament chips. Conforti is a local player who has had fantastic success in Playground-hosted tournaments recently, including cashes in 3 of the 4 events he has played so far in the Fall Classic.
Conforti can’t allow himself to feel too comfortable with his lead, however, as the field is chock full of talented players who will definitely have a say in who gets the big prizes tomorrow. Douglas James, who spent much of Day 1 as chip leader, will re-start with 262,000, just a hair behind local PLO and Hold’em cash game grinder Siamak S, who is overdue for a big tournament score and skilled enough to book one. There are so many players with impressive resumes left in the field it’s really anyone’s game. WSOP bracelet winner? Check. WPT Main Tour Event final tableist? Check. Past big Playground event winner? Check, check, check. Rising star of online poker streaming? Check!
Good luck to everyone tomorrow.
