The 64 players in this flight of the Playground 200 have adopted a steady pace, and the action is soft, for now. As everyone knows, anything and everything is bound to happen in poker.
Tonight players start with 25,000 chips and may re-enter as many times as they wish since this event has unlimited re-entries for all Day 1 flights. The tournament is 10-handed on all Day 1’s, whereas Day 2 and Day 3 will have 9-handed and 8-handed action respectively. The sum of $4,965 will be withheld from the prize pool, to be redistributed to the top 3 finishers in the form of three seats for the next MILLION STEP 3 satellite.
We are now at the midway mark of level 2 and there has only been one elimination. The player obviously elected to try a second bullet, since the boards show 1 re-entry. Here are a few photos of the early stages of level 1.
