Day 3 of the Playground 200 started rather violently, as Adamo Giroux was eliminated with kings against Alexandre Nadeau-Lévesque’s aces.
About an orbit later, Eric Lupovich raised from under-the-gun with ace-ten, and was called by Rabah Belal Ahin Al-Nasseri from the button. Al-Nasseri was being creative with jacks in his hand, and when he got check-raised all-in on a ten high flop, he happily called and busted Lupovich.
The Playground 200 is now 7-handed.
9th: Adamo Giroux – $2,230
8th: Eric Lupovich – $2,970
The Playground 200 is ready for its conclusion. Yesterday, players fought until there were only 9 left, led by Hassan Salha. Hassan has been crushing the field with his aggressive approach, and his stack of 4,440,000 chips looks extremely good on the Day 3 qualifiers list below.
In a few minutes, the action will resume in the tournament hall. Every player is guaranteed $2,230, and $22,286 is up top for the winner. Ladies and gentleman, cards are in the air!
With just 9 players left in the Playground 200, play will resume on Day 3 with the final table. The min-cash for tomorrow will be $2,230.00 and every elimination will come with its own pay jump – all the way to the top prize of $22,286.00! All results so far have been published in the Official Playground 200 Results table.
Here is the seating draw for the Day 3 restart at 7:00pm, Monday February 26th.
