Day 1A of the Playground 200 is in the books. From 129 entries, just 27 players managed to survive today’s 14 levels. The last level was quite tight, as players took little risk to avoid being knocked out right before the fake finish line.
All of these players will be added to the Combined Day 1 Results, found here. This list will be updated as Day 1s conclude, and will eventually provide a full list of Day 2 qualifiers. Three online players have been waiting there for some company since last Sunday. With the conclusion of Day 1A, that list rounds 30 players.
Tonight, Makan Salami finished strong, getting a few chips from Craig William who was on pace for a top 3 stack. Salami bagged 239,000 chips and is followed by Ben Menache, who finished with 182,500.
After these two come a pack of players in the 160s. George Siamoutas, David Sorgente, Nicolas Miron, Lee Chanwoo and Gil Charles are all within 7,000 of each other.
To join them and take shot at the $100,000 guarantee, play in Day 1B (Friday 7:00pm) or Day 1C (Saturday 11:00am). All qualifiers merge on Sunday at 12:00pm. See you tomorrow!
