The number of entries in today’s Survivor event has hit 48 players, meaning that the guarantee has been met as the prize pool climbs past the $3,000 mark. There has only been one elimination so far, and this is expected as players tend to play quite a cagey, suspicious style in a tournament with this format.
Here are a few photos from the early levels.
Event #5 is now underway as 28 players have taken their seats to begin play in Event #5. A lot of players have shown a preference to register late for Survivor events, to that figure will certainly rise. Players have until 1:30pm to join the event.
Today’s daytime tournament – Event #5 in the March Playground Power Weekend – is a well-loved format here at Playground Poker Club: a Survivor tournament. This format is a little bit different than a normal tournament in that it doesn’t play down to the money and then award cash on a scale from min-cash up to 1st place…
Instead, tournament players will have to “survive” until the top 10% of the field remains, at which point the tournament will stop, and the prize pool will be evenly divided by the remaining players – regardless of their chip counts. This structure resembles that of a satellite tournament, with the primary difference being that a cash prize is awarded rather than a tournament seat.
The tournament gets underway at 12:00pm with registration open until 1:30pm. Good luck!
