Action continues in the $550 Freeze, which is now down to 6 tables remaining. There will be a break in 30 minutes when tournament staff will remove the T100 chips from play and we’ll update the leaderboard at that time.

Leaders in tonight’s $550
Registration is now closed and there are 161 players in tonight’s $500 + $50 Freeze – Event 13 in the Playground Poker Spring Classic presented by partypoker.net. Players have returned from their first break of the night and we were able to find a few of the early chop leaders – in fact, it’s a little congested at the top of the leaderboard!
With a current tournament chip average just over 30K, there are 6 players with more than double that – and less than 10K separating the top 6.
- Ronald Lauzon: 78,625 chips
- Mathieu Boulanger-Vaugeois: 76,800 chips
- Miltiadis Mavrigiannakis: 75,125 chips
- Ben Menache: 70,925 chips

- Elie A: 69,625 chips
125 players in the $500 + $50 so far
Level 2 has just come to an end in Event 13, and registration has climbed up to 125 players with still over 90 minutes left before registration closes. We can expect a nice prize pool for a one-night event!

Welcome to Lucky Event 13
Tonight in the Playground Poker Spring Classic presented by partypoker.net it’s Event 13, a $500 + $500 NL Hold’em Freeze. Players start with 25,000 chips and the blinds will go up every 20 minutes. As the name “Freeze” indicates, there are no rebuys or re-entries in this tourney, so players must play with care from the beginning of the event. That being said, playing too carefully will bring its own problems…
We’re expecting a good mix of visiting players and Playground regulars in this tournament, which will also include players of varying levels of skill and experience. It’s a recipe for a dynamic and very fun tournament – with a pretty great prize pool to boot!
The tournament got underway at 7pm and late registration is available through the first 6 20-minute levels tonight.
Good luck on the felts!
