The players took a break between levels 6 and 7 and we hit the felts in search of candidates for the leaderboard.

Marc-André Larouche has taken the lead. Eight players have managed to gather more than 50,000 chips, but Larouche is way ahead with 77,000. With only 3,000 chips separating the next 7 players, saying the race is tight would be an understatement.

The registration is closed and a total of 158 entries made their way into the hall tonight, including 28 re-entries. Of those, there are now 103 players still in. Action will stop when 16 players are left standing… or rather sitting.

The numbers keep climbing as the players march into the tournament hall at a steady pace. Day 1C will no doubt be host to a massive turnout tonight.

There are presently over 2 million chips in play and the boards are showing 110 entries, including 2 re-entries, and 106 players still in.

There is still plenty of time to make it down to get into the action. Players can fire as many bullets as they want tonight, since unlimited re-entries are allowed in this flight.

The last of the three Day 1 flights of the Playground 100 is about to get underway. With unlimited re-entries and a guaranteed prize pool of $25,000, the Playground 100 is the one you don’t want to miss.

Players will kick off with 20,000 chips and the blinds will go up every 20 minutes. The registration period will remain open until the beginning of level 7, at approximately 9:15pm. So there is plenty of time to make it down to Playground poker and get into the action.

Out of the 143 entries in Day 1A last night, 15 players qualified for Day 2. This afternoon’s flight (Day 1B) received 195 entries and the top 20 will be moving on to Day 2. That tournament is about to finish.

Tonight, the top 10% will be added to the 35 players already qualified, and they all will be back tomorrow for Day 2 at 1:00PM.

Get in from the cold, to where the action is HOT!
