Larry Robinson has taken his seat on Table 58 and Guy Carbonneau is set to join the tournament on Table 51 in just a few minutes. They’re two of a large crowd of players today – there are 225 players registered so far for Day 1A and another 45 minutes of late registration left during which players can join the fun!

The Tournament Director has made his introductory announcements and with that out of the way, cards are now in the air in Event #1 of the 2017 Playground Poker Fall Classic.
So far there are 114 players gathered to begin the event, but late registration is open until 1:15pm, so we expect quite a few more to jump in on this rainy, blustery Sunday afternoon. Play will continue through a full 14 30-minute levels today, at which time all of those remaining will bag their chips to return on Day 2 in the event, Wednesday November 1st at 7:00pm.
It’s almost 11:00am, which is when Event #1 in the 2017 Playground Poker Fall Classic is set to get underway! The first event is a special one. Named “Strangers in the Night”, the entire tournament fee will be collected to give to the Strangers in the Night charitable initiative, which supports charities all over the Montreal area.
The event is hosted by none other than hockey legend Larry Robinson. He was spotted this morning in The Rail Coal Fire Bistro having a nice breakfast – it takes sustenance to play a long day of poker!
Cards will be in the air in the event in just over 15 minutes, and we’ll be following Larry’s progress throughout the day.
