The third Day of of Event 1 in the Playground Poker Spring Classic presented by partypoker.net has been running for more than 2 hours now, and late registration has now closed. Registration tonight was so strong there were 32 alternates admitted to the tourney, and tonight’s total of 326 combines with the 500 entries on Days 1a and 1b to bring the event well past the mark required to meet the $100,000 guarantee.
At the last break just one player has broken out from the field: Jesse Salazar, who had already accumulated 78,500 in chips. Notwithstanding the excitement in the room that goes with the beginning of a 3-week long festival – and a nice prize pool building in this tourney – the play in the event so far is slow and steady, even conservative. That’s almost certain to pass though as the action heats up!
