Event 3 Day 1D – final chip counts

- by

Here are the final chip counts for Day 1D of The $250 Frenzy, Event 3 of the Playground Poker Spring Classic 2015 presented by partypoker.net. There were a total of 204 entrants in this starting flight of Event 3. 39 of these players have qualified for Day 2, which will start on Monday, April 27th at 7pm.

Any player may play in one or more additional starting flights. In the event that a player qualifies in two or more Day 1s, only their largest stack will move forward to Day 2. We will provide detailed records of any such activity when the official seating draw for Day 2 is released.

Note that these are unverified player-counted chip counts. All chips have been sealed in bags until they return to play on Day 2.
