Today at Playground Poker Club is the first of the “larger” buy-in events in this year’s Playground Winter Festival. The tournament is a $500 + $50 NL Hold’em Freeze that will play out over the course of a single day. With 30-minute blinds, the event is likely to continue for at least 12 hours of play – it will be a true test of poker ability and stamina!
This event is the next in a long tradition of true freezeout events hosted at Playground Poker Club. While re-entry tournaments are an important part of the modern game of poker, there’s something about a tournament that allows players a single buy-in that is inherently fascinating – freezeout tourneys may be the purest form of tournament poker around, and are an important test for any poker player.
Late registration is open through the first 6 levels of play today, so there’s lots of time for players to jump in the action. And considering it’s a chilly and slightly snowy day outside, there’s no better place to be than in the Tournament Hall for this fantastic event.
Good luck on the felts!
