The official number of entries for Day 1e in Event 3 of the Playground Poker Spring Classic presented by partypoker.net has been fixed now that late registration is over – this flight attracted 217 entries, bringing the grand total for the first 5 starting flights to 930 entries. This is significant because tournament buy-ins have officially passed the amount of the prize pool guarantee… and every single additional entry tonight (and over 40 today) will simply serve to build the prize pool higher and higher.
There are two chip leaders pacing the field after the first 4 levels of play today – players we’ll keep an eye on as we get deeper into the day. The two pacing the pack are Andrew Dick and Edmond Dupuis Soulière, both of whom are playing just a little over 70K.
