The Main Event has just jumped into level 2, and registration is still climbing! For now we’ve seen 135 players take their seats, but registration will remain open until around 4pm.

The tournament director has made his opening announcements and given the traditional command:

Dealers, Shuffle up and deal!

And with that, the $500K Guaranteed Main Event of the Playground Winter Festival has begun. Players start with 30K in tournament chips and blind levels today are 45 minutes long.

As it’s 11am on a Friday, and as poker players are, well, people who keep poker players’ hours, we’re expecting a large number of people to take advantage of late registration. Registration is open until 4pm, so there’s lots of time for players to arrive at Playground Poker Club and take their seats in this fantastic event.

Good luck to everyone in the event!
