    The Playground 1000 takes a definitive step forward today as the entire field comes together at one time to continue play in the event. There are 205 qualifiers from the three Day 1s that were held from Friday to Sunday. To this number will be added an unknown number of Day 2 entrants during the first two levels of play today.

    So far there have been 440 entries in the tournament, meaning that it’s still in an overlay situation. Buying in on Day 2 is always a popular proposition, but with literal free money on the table in the form of a prize pool overlay, the prospect of Day 2 registration should be greatly enhanced! Registration in the Playground 1000 closes at the end of the break following level 12 – which is to say that players can jump in any time until 2:15pm.

    Following the end of late registration, tournament staff will put together the final prize pool and payout table and we’ll publish this here as soon as it is available.

    In terms of players that have already qualified for the restart at noon, the leader by a large margin is Joseph Abou Khalil. Khalil managed to amass a monster stack of 758,000 chips (253bb). He is followed in the standings by two players with stacks greater than 600K – Christopher Turnbull and Day 1A qualifier Faisal Khan.

    Chip leaders aside, however, a huge proportion of the field is made up of experienced, skilled players. Whether it’s Ami Alibay, Daune Fernandez, Said Michailidis, Joel Giguere, Chris Arvanitis, Calgary’s Shane Brotherwood, or multiple WSOP bracelet winner Andre Boyer, there are dangers to be found on each and every table. And that’s not even counting some of the most experienced pros in the field like Griffin Benger and Samuel Chartier, both of whom have more than enough skill to take any stack today on a decent run in the event.

    One thing is sure – it’s going to be an action-packed day in the Tournament Hall at Playground Poker Club! Stay tuned to the blog for updates throughout the day.
