Late registration is now closed in the 8-Max, and the last of the alternates have just been seated. The turnout for this 11th Event in the Playground Poker Fall Classic was of an astounding 259 players, adding to the overwhelming success of this series.

A few players have jumped into an early lead in the first levels of play, and Alex Schwind returns from the first break with the biggest stack, holding 81,550 in chips. Jeffrey Derue and Kamal Hamai both have 73,100 and are tied for second place, while Wai Kit Ngai trails them by a few hundred chips.

Once the payout structure has been prepared, we will publish all the prize pool information for this event.

The number of entries is climbing fast in Event 11, and as the second level nears the end the board shows that 203 players have already registered for the tournament. With a little under an hour left in late registration, we can very well assume the turnout for this 8-Max will be a massive one.

It’s not too late to jump in the action, come down to Playground Poker Club and give yourself the chance of becoming our next Playground Poker Fall Classic Event champion!

Event 11 in the Playground Poker Fall Classic has just kicked off, and it is a $300 + $30 NL Hold’em 8-Max that will play out in one night. The $40,000 guarantee boasted for the event has nearly been reached here at the start of level 1, as over 100 players are already in their seats and ready to go.

Late registration will remain open through until the end of the first break, and players therefore have until 8:30pm to take part of the action.

As this event is part of the PPFC, the eventual winner will earn themselves a Champion’s Trophy to accompany their cash prize, and will also win a seat in the champion’s freeroll where they have the chance of winning a seat to the next WPT main event in the Spring.

See you on the felts!
