Here are the final chip counts for Day 1a of The $250 Frenzy, Event 3 of the Playground Poker Spring Classic 2015 presented by partypoker.net. There were a total of 113 entrants in this starting flight of Event 3. 24 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.

Play has begun in level 14, the last level that will be played in this starting flight of Event 3, The $250 Frenzy. There are just 30 players remaining in the action out of the 113 who started, and that number is sure to come down even more as players with big stacks put pressure on their table mates to try and build up their “ammunition” for Day 2!
A few minutes after this flight has concluded we’ll post full counts for the remaining players, and then tonight we do it all again for Day 1B!

The players in this first flight of The $250 Frenzy are on their second break of the day and the leaderboard at this time puts 2 players well out front of the pack with a few others following closely behind. All 5 have roughly double the chip average (or more) and 4x the starting stack (or more).

The players in Event 3 are taking their first break of the day and we have found some early leaders in the field.
Each of these players currently has over twice the starting stack after just 4 levels of play, so although there’s a long way to go in this flight (they’re playing 14 30-minute levels), these players have established a good base to work from.

If you’re wondering whether to come out for Day 1A of the $250 Frenzy, today’s likely a good day to play as there are not quite 100 players in the field. You have almost an hour left to get to the Club and jump into this starting flight, which will almost certainly be the smallest starting flight of the six.
