There are already 175 entries in Event 4, meaning that alternate seating has begun although almost everyone has taken their seat and only a few players are waiting at this time. As always, tournament staff is working hard to ensure that everyone gets a seat as soon as possible.
The great thing about this strong turnout is that it builds a nice big prize pool, clearly surpassing the $5,000 guarantee on this event. We’ll have final prizing information once registration closes.

Today’s Deepstack Turbo event has just gotten underway and there are already 124 players registered and seated in the tournament. With late registration available until the end of the break following level 5, that number is certain to grow.
A word of caution for players who intend to late register – the published capacity for the tournment is 150 players, and while we always do everything we can to seat everyone who wants to play, the popularity of this event suggests that we’ll be into alternate seating before too long – so the sooner you can get here to join in the fun, the more likely it is you won’t have to wait for a seat to open up.
Today’s noon tourney – Event 4, a $100 + $10 NL Hold’em Deepstack Turbo – is both the most affordable tournament in this year’s Fall Classic lineup AND likely to be one of the most fun events on the schedule as well.
The Deepstack Turbo format is one of the most beloved tournament formats ever run here at Playground Poker Club. Ever since we first opened our doors in 2010, this format has been a mainstay of the weekly tournament schedule and it still represents the backbone of our daytime schedule as well as being the format of both weekend daytime tournaments.
About the name: it’s called “Deepstack” because players start with 25K in chips, and “Turbo” because blinds are just 15 minutes long. This makes for an explosive combination in which players find themselves in critical situations from the very beginning of the tournament. Players must keep their wits about them for the entire length of of the tourney to make it deep – no “coasting” allowed!
Good luck at the tables!
