Fontaine leads the Main Event

2015/03/08 10:37pm by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 9 - Main Event ($1000 + $100 NL Hold'em)

Day 2 of the Main Event ended with 18 players left, and leading the way is Hugo Fontaine, who just recently took the chip lead away from Jordan Miraglia in a hand that had table 62 buzzing.

After betting the flop, Jordan lead the turn with a bet of 125,000 and 8 of Clubs 3 of Diamonds 10 of Clubs 4 of Hearts showing on the board. Hugo moved all-in for just about 750,000 total, and found a quick call from Jordan, who was in very bad shape, as his 5 of Hearts 5 of Diamonds were far behind the 3 of Hearts 3 of Spades of Hugo. The river brought the Queen of Diamonds, and as this was a blank, Hugo scooped the biggest pot of the tournament thus far, worth just over 1,800,000.

Full player-reported chip counts, as well as the new seating assignment for tomorrow, can be found here.

Day 3 is scheduled at 12pm tomorrow, Monday March 9th, and depending on how the day progressing, might play down until there is a winner. Be sure to stay tuned in to our blog to get all the up to date news, as well as photos form the day.

Tournament: Event 9 - Main Event ($1000 + $100 NL Hold'em)

The Main Event is down to 5 tables, as only 42 players remain. A few of the shorter stacks around the bubble have made their exits, and action has opened up a bit now that this milestone event in the tournament has passed. The day is far from over however, as there are still 4 more 60-minute levels scheduled today after the completion of level 19.

Players will have a break in 10 minutes, and we will bring you an update on the leaderboard at this point.

Double elimination on the bubble

2015/03/08 4:44pm by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 9 - Main Event ($1000 + $100 NL Hold'em)

There was a double elimination on separate tables while play was hand-for-hand, and this means that Jean Louis Forino and Lukas Pasek will be sharing the prize for 54th place, and taking home $1,115 each.

We arrived at table 66 when Lukas Pasek was tabling his hand, after his 57,000 all-in was called by Jonathan Brule. Lukas tabled Ace of Spades Queen of Spades, and was looking good against the Ace of Clubs 9 of Hearts of Jonathan, however a few clubs appeared on a Jack of Spades 2 of Spades Jack of Clubs Queen of Clubs 9 of Clubs board to give Jonathan the flush.

Immediately after the bubble burst, the tournament staff closed a table, and the tournament has now been reduced to 6-tables.

Congratulations to the players who cashed in this years Main Event of the Playground Winter Festival!

Afriat doubles as the bubble approaches

2015/03/08 4:05pm by
Tournament: Event 9 - Main Event ($1000 + $100 NL Hold'em)

Eric Afriat is certainly one of the most experienced and successful live tournament players in the field, and for much of the day he had been among the chip leaders. However, following a table change to Table 60, – the table with by far the most total chips in the tournament – he eventually lost most of his stack, until he posted his big blind with just 68K behind.

In the hand, 4 players limped, the small blind folded, and then Eric went all-in for 72K total. The player UTG folded, but then Shawn Martell went all-in over the top. Everyone else folded and the cards were flipped over.

Eric: Ace of Hearts 6 of Spades
Shawn: Ace of Spades Jack of Clubs

The board was safe enough for Shawn until the river: 4 of Clubs 9 of Clubs Queen of Diamonds 2 of Clubs – and then Eric spiked the 6 of Hearts to double up.

Play is now very close to the actual bubble.
