The March Power Weekend will be gaining momentum this afternoon, as the second of four starting flights for the Playground 500 gets underway. This exciting event provides a massive 50,000 chip starting stack and a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000.
Each starting flight will play 14 30-minute levels, giving the players plenty of time to accumulate as many chips as possible for Friday evening’s Day 2. This is a re-entry event with unlimited re-entries permitted until the beginning of the ninth level of play. That means that each starting flight will have four and a half hours of late registration and re-entries so expect some interesting dynamics in the early going. The friendly blind structure and big starting stack will allow players lots of options in their approach to grinding through this three-day event.
Last night’s flight, Day 1A, brought out 69 entries, 13 of which survived to the end to bag chips for Day 2.
The cards are now in the air. Good luck to all!
