    We’ll shoot a round of photos shortly, but there are some notable players in the field such as hockey legend Guy Carbonneau as well as local poker notables like Philippe Plouffe, Patrick Braga, and Marco Caza.

    Players have assembled around their tables to begin play in Event 5 of the Playground Poker Spring Classic presented by partypoker.net. Event 5 is the first of the larger buy-in events in this year’s Spring Classic, and judging informally by the number of “bigger” players that have started to make their appearance at the club in the last day or so, it should end up attracting a nice field.

    Blind levels in this freezeout event are 30 minutes and players begin with 20K in tournament chips. You can download a PDF with full details about the rules and structure for this event from our Tournament Details page.

    Late registration is available for 4 levels (plus the break following level 4) – which means you can join the tournament until 1:15pm. Knowing poker players – and being poker players ourselves – we expect a steady stream of entries right up until the last possible second!

    Good luck to everyone today!
