Playground 200

Hassan Salha takes down the Playground 200

After 2 full days of poker, almost 3 hours of final table action and a little over 10 minutes of heads-up play, Hassan Salha was crowned Champion of the Playground 200, a natural outcome that resulted from unbelievable play. Salha was hands down the fiercest competitor. Since early in Day 2, his well-calculated aggressiveness served him extremely well. This type of play got him a lot of free pots, and also a lot of value from players who just could not bring themselves to believe him [More...]

Event #5 – $80 8-Max

Event #5 Champion: Vincent Trevisonno

Vincent Trevisonno has just been crowned champion of the 8-Max Freeze, the fifth event in this edition of Playground’s Power Weekend. Trevisonno held the chip lead throughout most of the tournament. Upon reaching the final table, he had the chips and the patience to sit back and pick his spots carefully. This strategy paid dividends as the players were eliminated one after the other until only three remained. When it came down to the final three players, Trevisonno, Alexandre Lauziere and [More...]

Event #6 – $330 6-Max

The 6-max Champion: Michael Levy

The last Event of the Power Weekend was a $300 + $30 NL Hold'em 6-max tournament. This very popular format attracted 91 players, and created a prize pool of $26,481. The buy-in was big enough to attract some sharks, but affordable enough to have many of our everyday tournament players in the field, making for an interesting dynamic. The 6-max format always creates loads of action, and this edition was no exception. Many of the early leaders did not manage to make the payouts, including Nader [More...]

8 players will make the MILLIONS

As we return from the first break of the evening, there are 41 players left to battle it out for 8 seats in the MILLIONS North America. This satellite drew 50 entries and 6 re-entries, good enough for five seats, and the mega overlay addition provided the other three - a great value for all the players in the field. There will be step satellites running on a regular basis until the event gets underway so there are plenty of opportunities to play your way in to the MILLIONS for as little as [More...]

Event #3 – $60 Rebuy

Our $50 + $10 Rebuy Champion: Michael Mannucci

Event 3 was  $50 + $10 NL Hold'em Rebuy Event, a format that spells early action. 84 players took part, and 33 rebuys were accounted for. Of course, this means that a lot of chips were in play, and many big stacks showed up at the final table, led by Danick Landriault and Azizul Haque. With 9 prizes on the payout table, it was decided that every finalist would get a piece. $10 were subtracted from all 9 amounts, and the 10th place finisher would go home with a 50% profit on his investment.

Event #4 – $220 Bounty

Our top Bounty Hunter: Normand Deguire

Tonight's tournament was a $100 + $20 + $100 Bounty, a format most appreciated by our player base. The 149 players who showed up for the Event testify to that, and blew the 20K guarantee by almost 50%. Bounties flew, and many multi-way all-in hands took place, as players were going hard after those sweet $100 Bounties. One of those hands saw Yannick Kwan hit a set of tens to quadruple up. Éric Leblond got his kings cracked in that hand and was left with 2,700 chips. A few hours later, with 20 [More...]
