As the Main Event gets started, we put together what we hope is a helpful list of suggestions for your time at Playground Poker Club!

DO… Play in 1, 2, or 3 flights of the Main Event – it’s your choice! It’s a next-day re-entry event with best stack forward, so if you don’t qualify on Day 1a, you can try again. See the Tournament Info page for more information.

DO… Check out our $10,000 Spin promotion. The most recent $10K spin was… yesterday!

 

DON’T… forget to check the schedule for the 2015 Playground Poker Fall Classic including the WPT Montreal presented by Partypoker.net! It’s time to make your plans to join us in November!

DON’T… ignore the daily specials on the menu from The Rail Coal Fire Bistro! Korean Chicken, Lamb & Beef Gyros, Australian burger – all of these have been specials in the past few days!

DO… consult the screens around the Club to keep track of the Primary Bad Beat Jackpot as it grows. It’s approaching $600,000!

Most of all… HAVE FUN while you’re here at Playground Poker Club.

In just over 18 hours, the first players will take their seats in the $135 + $25 NL Hold’em Strike Out Cancer Charity Event here at Playground Poker Club!

The event will be a star-studded affair, with local heroes like Larry Robinson, Guy Lafleur, Guy Lapointe and Guy Carbonneau all joining us at Playground during the event alongside our poker heroes like Antonio Esfandiari! It’s all for a good cause: $25 of every buy-in to the event will be donated to the Jodi Taiger Lazarus Fund for Hereditary Breast Cancer Research.

That the event is being played for a good cause is just part of the story, though. The other important element is that the tournament has a $100,000 Prize Pool Guarantee! No matter what, on Monday evening, some lucky poker player will be going home with a much bigger bankroll than they started with.

The Montréal Poker Expo is part of a perfect storm for players that’s brewing here at Playground. In addition to the high interest in the Poker Expo, there’s also a record-setting Bad Beat Jackpot, just waiting to be won by a fortunate cash game player. As of this moment, the Jackpot is at $556,322.00 – and that figure is going to keep going up until there’s a winner!

Throughout the Montréal Poker Expo we’ll be publishing updates and photos on this Live Event Blog. So be sure to visit often to keep up to date on all of the news from what is sure to be an amazing series of poker tournaments here at Playground Poker Club.
