In a buzzing tournament hall, players are making the best out of their Sunday afternoon. Our waitresses are busy bringing food and drinks to our Frenzy players, and with the first few eliminations, some stacks have started construction early. In 35 minutes, the first break will be on us, after which we will know the final number of participants for this huge flight. 50 minutes left to join!

Today will wrap up the $250 Frenzy Day 1s. Day 1E is moments away from getting underway, and Day 1F will be held tonight at 7:00pm. With 584 entries cumulated through the first four day 1s, Event 4 has proven to be a great success, and is sure to offer a prize pool to drool about.
117 players have put their name on the combined qualifiers list so far, and you can join them by surviving 14 levels in one of the last 2 starting flights today. You will work with 20,000 starting chips and 30-minute levels. At the start of Day 1E, already 82 players are at the tables, and 2 hours and 15 minutes of registration are ahead of us.
Have a great day at Playground Poker Club!
