We have reached Day 3 in Event 3 of the Playground Poker Spring Classic, and 26 players are back tonight all trying to become our next The $250 Frenzy Champion. The winner is set to take home a cool $50,000 cash prize, in addition to a Playground Poker Spring Classic Champion’s Trophy. Full payouts can be viewed here.
Coming in as chip leader is local hero Tomas Larivee Magni, who knows his way around these final stages of a multi-day tournament. He is hoping to improve on his runner-up finish in our previous edition of The $250 Frenzy back in November of 2015. Marco Lang started Day 2 as the tournament chip leader, and managed to hold onto his spot amongst the leaders for most of the day, finishing the night second in chips. George Kazarian and Thierry Blanc are back for their second Day 3 in this series, as both made a deep run in the kickoff event – The Wild $150. Here is the full list of chip counts for the start of Day 3.
The field includes several solid local and travelling players, and the path to victory will not be made easy for anyone.
Follow us tonight as we bring you up-to-date coverage and photos of the event via our Playground Poker Blog, and good luck to the players here in Day 3!
