251 players return tonight to pursue their mission of becoming The $250 Frenzy Champion, along the way pocketing a cool $50,000 prize and a Playground Poker Spring Classic Champion’s Trophy. Play is set to play down until the final 27 is reached, so we can expect there to be a lot action throughout the night.
