Today’s starting flight has brought out a few big-name players to the tables, including such stars as Will Molson, Mike Leah, Laurence Grondin, Patrick Braga, Isabelle Mercier, and Eric Afriat. Players Club members George Caragiorgas and Philippe Plouffe have also taken their seats, as have past champions in Playground events like Michael Korovine and Sammy Popatia.
Others in the field who have the skills to make a deep run include Playground tournament regulars like Yannick Labattaglia, Jon Pentefountas, George Kazarian, Levon Dedayan, and Qiang Dong, among many others.
Players are now taking their first break of the day. Late registration continues after this break, so there’s still lots of time to join the event.
