Tonight’s tournament in the Playground Winter Festival is sure to be a crowd-pleaser – it’s an 8-Max tournament that uses a format that has become very popular here at Playground Poker Club. With 8 players to a table, it would be incorrect to call this a short-handed tournament, but the extra space everyone has around the ring is always welcome, and the structure of this tourney is fabulous, with earlier antes which have the effect of making the tournament relatively deeper than most one-evening events.

Event 11 gets underway at 7:30pm and late registration is available until 9pm. There is a cap of 160 players tonight, so be sure to get to Playground early to ensure your spot in the event.
