The tournament hall is packed, and the chips are flying!

As we enter level 6 of Day 1B, we are down to 126 runners out of 171 total entries. The players are clearly making the best of the Playground 200’s format – extended late registration and unlimited re-entries – to take every possible opportunity to collect chips. There is still a bit of time left to (re-)enter so expect a few more players to join the field tonight. One thing is for sure; there will be some huge stacks moving on from this flight, as there are already over 4,300,000 chips in play.

Here’s another look at some of the players in the field tonight.

The players have left on their first break of the evening, and the number of entries continues to grow steadily. There is still nearly an hour to register or re-enter so expect many more players to join the field tonight.

As expected, the action has been loose and aggressive, with the players making every effort to run up their stacks while the late registration and re-entry period is still open.

Day 1B of the Playground 200 is off to a great start with 109 entries and counting. Tonight’s tournament has lots to offer; extended late registration and unlimited re-entries gives offers lots of flexibility. Players who are already in the field can fire as many bullets as they like, and those thinking about making their way to Playground can take their time; as long as you make it here before 10:15pm there’s time to join the field in the hunt for a part of the $100,000.00 guaranteed prize pool.

The Playground Power Weekend is ramping up tonight with Day 1B of the Playground 200. Tonight is the second of three live starting flights, with Day 1C on Saturday at 11:00am. Each Day 1 will play 14 30-minute levels and offers an extended late registration period: Players can register during the first six levels of play. This tournament also offers unlimited re-entries during the late registration period so expect the action to heat up quickly as the players race to build their stacks.

Yesterday’s Day 1A got the event off to a strong start with 144 entries and 28 qualifiers for Sunday’s Day 2. We expect tonight’s turnout to easily surpass Day 1A, both in terms of entries and re-entries, so expect some huge stacks to advance from this flight.

This event guarantees a prize pool of $100,000.00, and our partners at partypoker have added some great value for the players with a last longer freeroll for anyone who wears the partypoker LIVE patch. The last player in the field wearing the patch will win a $530.00 ticket to the final satellite for the upcoming MILLIONS event.

Good luck to all!
