The $10,000 + $400 High-Roller Event was the biggest buy-in event in the Playground Poker Fall Classic, and it attracted a field of 41 runners, which included many distinguished players in the poker community.
Through 10 levels of play, only 21 players remained when the clock for Day 1 struck zero, and they have bagged and tagged their chips onto tomorrow’s Day 2. Play resumes at 12pm, and will play down until we have our High-Roller champion, who will pocket a $156,000 cash prize as well as a Playground Poker Fall Classic Champion’s Trophy. The top 6 spots will secure a payday.
Local pro Pascal Lefrancois leads the final 21 into action tomorrow, having bagged a massive 174,000 chip stack. Senthuran Vijayaratnam returns with a hefty army of 117,400, while Mark Radoja (105,000) and Darren Elias (104,600) rounds out the list of players who bagged in the 6-figures.
