Tonight’s event in the Playground Winter Festival is Event 8, a $200 + $20 Survivor tournament. Action gets underway at 7:30pm.
The Survivor format is still relatively new in Playground Poker Club festivals, but it has quickly become one of the best-loved events on the schedule – in addition to being very popular among players.
The format is a little bit different than a regular poker tournament. Instead of playing down to a winner, play continues until 10% of the field remains – at which time play is halted and everyone still in the event gets an even share of the prize pool! In a way, it’s similar to a satellite tourney – except that the prize at the end is cash!
A Survivor event such as this one, with a $200 + $20 buy-in, is certain to give the winners a very nice prize at the end of the night – and because play doesn’t continue through the bubble, the pace of the event is sure to be very appealing as well!
Registration tonight is open until the end of the break following level 4, which is to say it’s open until 9pm. There is a 300 player cap, so if you want to be sure to have a seat in the event, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make your way to Playground a little early.
