Event 3 Day 1c final counts
Day 1c of Event 3 in the Playground Poker Spring Classic began today at 11am and played through 14 levels of 30-minutes before players counted and bagged their chips for their return to play on Day 2. This 3nd of 6 starting flights attracted a total of 153 entries and when the end of the day arrived there were 27 players left. After 3 flights The $250 Frenzy is now up to 493 entries.
The leader from this third flight is Jean-Philippe Caron, who picked up some momentum near the end of the day to finish with 284,000 chips for Day 2. David Guay bagged the second biggest stack of the day after spending most of the flight atop the leaderboard – he will be returning to Day 2 with 235,000.
Any player who entered either (or both of) today’s starting flights in the tournament may re-enter in a subsequent starting flight – this is a “next day re-entry” event, meaning that players enter each of the 6 starting flights once.
