We have just entered level 6, which means that in a little less than 1-hour, registration for this Day 1b will close. Attendance has climbed up to 305 players, with still one more starting flight to go, as Day 1c is schedule at 11:00am tomorrow.
Here are a few more photos taken during levels 4 and 5:
It’s early to tally up the leaders in the tournament, but a quick tour of the room shows quite a few players have doubled or more to start the event and are hovering above 65K. Some of the players in this group include Marc Etienne McLaughlin, Danny Freitas, David Diplacido, and Michael Skinner.
In terms of the overall entries, Day 1b has crept up over 300 for this second flight with another hour and forty-five minutes to late register.
The opening announcements have been made and the clock has started to count down the first of 13 45-minute levels to be played today in the second flight of the Playground Poker Montreal Festival Main Event.
As usual, Day 1b has attracted many more entries than the first flight – at the beginning of play today there are already more entries than the total from yesterday. With about 25% or more of the field today due to come during the late registration period (between now and 4pm), it’s looking like a very healthy field today!
It’s a slightly overcast Saturday morning in the Montreal area and poker players are gathering at Playground Poker Club to start Day 1b of the Main Event of the Playground Poker Montreal Festival. To get started this morning there are 190 players around the tables, but with late registration continuing until 4pm it’s certain that the first of two weekend starting flights will be a heavily-attended affair.
Good luck to everyone playing today!
