Play in Day 1e has moved through to level 12, which means that there are less than 3 levels of play left before the players that remain will be invited to bag their chips for a return on Day 2.

There are several players that have built up stacks of over 100K – but as more than one player in this tournament has already proven, by the end of level 14 anyone can be on top!

Here are a few photos from level 8, just before the players’ second break of the day.

The first break has come and gone in today’s 5th starting flight in The $250 Frenzy, and the final number of entries in this flight grew to 248 total, adding up to a whopping 1,011 total entries so far! This has pushed the prize pool well past the $200K mark – when the dust settles, there should be some truly impressive prizes in this event!

During the break we surveyed the room for the early chip leaders and found 4 players who had cracked the 50K mark – but with several more following closely behind. Here are the four players who currently have more than 50K in tournament chips.

Play in The $250 Frenzy has been completed through just 25 minutes of level 1 but already there are 181 entrants, making this the largest of the daytime starting flights with another 100 minutes of late registration available.

A few notable players have taken their seats in the past few minutes, including George Kazarian, Jessie Wheatley, Brian Bond, and Linda Huard – each of these players has made a deep run in this format or a similar format of event in the past here at Playground Poker Club.

In just minutes, cards will be in the air in Day 1e of Event 3 in the Playground Poker Fall Classic presented by partypoker.net. There have been 763 so far in the event, and today’s daytime flight is already shaping up to be a big one – with a lineup at the cashier of players registering, there are already 72 players entered – and counting.

Players have until the end of the break following level 4 to enter today’s 5th of 6 starting flights, which means that the numbers will grow until 12:15 today. Tonight’s final starting flight starts at 6:00pm, which will be your last chance to qualify for Day 2 in this fantastic tournament.

Good luck to everyone playing today!
