The Wild $150 was Event 1 of the Playground Winter Festival. It was a $135 + $15 NL Hold’em Re-entry event with 4 Day 1s that began on February 27, 2015 at Playground Poker Club. The event attracted a total of 1441 entries over the 4 Day 1s, which generated a prize pool of $188,699.00. This prize pool was distributed according to the following table.

Note there were two player deals made during this event. First, with 8 players remaining, the players decided to award $10,000 to each of the remaining players and award the remaining prize pool to the top three players (divided into payouts of 50%, 30%, and 20%). When play was down to 3 players, they chose to flatten the payout structure to award 1st place a further $10,709.00, 2nd place $7000.00, and 3rd place $5000.00. The following payout numbers reflect the two deals that were made.
