Cards are just now in the air and there are 118 players who have already bought in for the $100 + $10 8-Max tonight!

The published capacity is 300 for the event, so if you are interested in playing it would be a good idea to get to Playground very soon!

Good luck to all of the players in the event!

Tonight is Event 9 in the Playground Poker Montreal Festival, which is a $100 + $10 No Limit Hold-em 8-Max Deepstack tournament.

This event is similar to the tournament that runs every Wednesday night at Playground Poker, and it has quickly become one of the favourite tournaments of the week for the many players that have played it regularly since it started in March.

In fact, around the poker world a consensus is beginning to grow that although it’s not always feasible to play 8-Max, it is in many ways the perfect tournament format.

All of this comes together tonight at 7:30 when we should welcome a large field for this beautiful tournament. It may prove to be the largest field of all the single-day tournaments in the Festival.

See you here at Playground!
