With The Wild $150 in the rear-view mirror and just 26 players left in The $250 Frenzy, today is the day that the Playground Poker Spring Classic turns to its higher buy-in tournaments – this is the first of 6 tournaments (including the WPT Canadian Spring Championship) with a total buy-in of $550 or more.
Event 5 is a $500 + $50 NL Hold’em Freeze that gets underway at 11am this morning. Blinds are 30 minutes long and players start with 25,000 tournament chips, ensuring a lot of play throughout the tourney. It’s a one-day event and as the name suggests, it’s a true freezeout event, meaning players cannot rebuy or re-enter – it’s tournament poker in a very “pure” form.
Late registration in the tournament is available until the end of level 6, which is to say that players may join the tournament any time until 2:15pm (6 x 30-minute levels plus 1 15-minute break following level 4).
Good luck!
