Welcome to the final flight of the Wild $150
Tonight is the fourth and final flight of the Wild $150, the opening event in this Playground Winter Festival. There is a combined total of 1105 entries so far after three starting flights, which means that the $100,000 guarantee has already been surpassed, and we can expect to see a large number of players here tonight. The tournament will begin at 7:30pm, with late registration open through until the end of the first break, or roughly until 9:40pm.
So far 255 players have earned their seat into Day 2 of this event, which will be held at 1 pm this Sunday, March 1st. Be sure not to miss your chance of claiming a piece of this massive prize pool!
See you on the felts!
