Photographs from the last moments of play in Day 1A:

The players in Day 1A of The $250 Frenzy are rolling right along. There were a total of 98 entries in this first of 6 starting flights, and 1/3 of them have been eliminated as the tournament progresses through level 8 of play today.

Here are some photos from the first stint in Day 1A in The $250 Frenzy. Going into the first break – during which players may still register – there were 91 entries, which is a reasonably solid number for an early daytime Day 1 flight.

Event #4 in the Playground Poker Fall Classic for 2017 is one of the traditional “starting” events, The $250 Frenzy. The tournament is a 3-Day No Limit Hold’em event with 6 starting Day 1 flights – two per day on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The buy-in for the event is $225 + $25, and it’s a next-day re-entry event, meaning that players can enter as many Day 1 starting flights as they wish to try and qualify for Day 2. The tournament features a massive $200,000 prize pool guarantee, and if the past is any indicator, it’s sure to be an action-packed event.

Action is set to get underway in just minutes in the Tournament Hall, and we’ll be following the tournament from start to finish right here in the Fall Classic Event Blog.

Good luck to everyone!
