Day 1B is officially in the books, and 45 players will be added to the qualifiers’ list. 6 of them managed to bag over 200K, but only 1 – Tam Ho – finished in the 300s. Pierre Lauzé missed that mark by a hair, having jumped into the leading pack after winning a lot of chips in the very last hand of the night.
Dominic Boucher, who did well all night and suffered no major setback, placed 3rd. The flight did not produce as many big stacks as Day 1A, but a higher percentage of players survived, and the top crew is much more narrowed.
The table below lists all players above the 200K mark. The last starting flight, Day 1C, takes place at 11:00AM tomorrow. After that, qualifiers from all flights will merge at noon on Sunday for Day 2 of the Playground 200, the staple of Playground Power Weekends. Get your seat!
