The tournament is down to 45 players and there has been a steady stream of eliminations in the last few levels.

The pace is new, and so are the leaders. None of the chip leaders from the previous break made the new leaderboard. Jimmy Guervil now has a decent lead with 153,500 chips an is the only player above 150K. A little behind, but with few chips in between are Maxime Argento, Serge Roy, and Daniel Pépin.

There are 30 more eliminations to go before the players are in the money, and with the blinds increasing, so will the action.

Registrations are now closed and the boards are displaying 111 entries and 20 rebuys. The prize pool has exceeded the guarantee and is at $12,707.

The top 14 players will be paid according to the chart below:

After 6 levels of play, the break is finishing and the players are trickling back into the tournament hall.

Ioannis Tsontakis is way ahead of the pack and is showing no signs of slowing down, with 105,500 chips. On the leaderboard there are six other players with chips above 50,000, and the race is on.

We’ll be posting the prize pool shortly.

The boards are showing more than 90 entries and things are moving along in the $110 Single Rebuy.

There are a lot of familiar faces and quite a few new ones. Every one seems to be having a great time and we went around the tables to bring you some early photos.

The Playground Power Weekend hosts a great Single Re-buy tournament for $110 tonight.

Here are all the details: Players start with 20,000 tournament chips, and play will be 10-handed. The registration period will be open until the beginning of level 7. With blinds going up every 20 minutes, in other words, players can register until 10:15PM.

This is a Single Rebuy tournament, which means that one rebuy ($100 for 20,000 chips) is permitted until the end of the late registration period. Players may rebuy if their stack falls to 5,000 or less. It’s also important to note that players who bust and wish to rebuy, must remain in their seat and rebuy immediately to continue. if they miss one hand, they will not be permitted to rebuy.

With a gorgeous guaranteed prize pool of $10,000, this is a tournament format that always goes down well the players, so expect to see the number of entries to swell to interesting proportions.

There is always a chair with your name on it at Playground Poker, so come down and join the fun. Things just got underway.
