The tension in the room is building as we approach the money bubble in the Event #11, the Playground 1000. This feature event drew 499 entries (combined total of entries and re-entries) and will pay 63 places. There are 68 players left in contention, each hoping to outlast the others on their way to the first place prize of $93,930.00. The players are clearly conscious of the bubble on the horizon, as every decision is being carefully calculated and only the strongest hands are making it to showdown.
While the bubble is looming over the short stacks, one players who is not feeling the pressure is our current chip leader, John Helou, who is now playing a stack of more then 2,400,000.
