Level 4 is almost over in Day 2 of the Frenzy. Players will have a break soon, after which the money bubble will be on us.
Photographs from levels 3-4:
We are now pushing towards the end of level 2, and already 22 players left us. The most notable departures are André Boyer and Nick Nickoletopoulos.
Donald Abdelhay has lost a few feathers, but is still very healthy with over 300K, while Louis-Charles Levros’ stack has observed status quo.
There will be 2 more levels of poker before the first break, at which point we will bring you an update on the top of the leaderboard.
Some level 1 photographs:
It is in a stormy Montreal that Day 2 qualifiers resume play tonight. In a few minutes, Day 2 of Event 4 in the Winter Festival 2018 will be underway at Playground Poker Club. 144 runners managed to send a stack to Day 2, with Donald Abdelhay as a front man. His stack of 402,000 is looking really good in a field that counts only 1 other player over 300K (Louis-Charles Levros). We will keep an eye on these 2 during the first levels of play.
Blinds resume at 1,5K/3K/a3K, and some qualifiers will feel the pressure right away. We expect the 144-player field to reduce quickly, then slow down when closing in on the prizes. 81 players will get paid, and only a handful will get to send a stack to tomorrow night’s Day 3.
As the tournament director makes the introductory announcement, level 15 begins. Shuffle up and Deal!
The final count of entries in The $250 Frenzy was 803 through all 6 Day 1s. With two players’ smaller stacks removed (they qualified twice), 144 players will resume play for Day 2.
The following is the official seating chart for Day 2 in the event. Play will get underway at 7:00pm on Monday January 22nd.

There are currently just 41 players left in Day 1F and they’ve definitely passed the last turn and are now coming down the home stretch – except that they won’t all make it… there are most likely at least another 12-15 eliminations to come before players bag their chips for Day 2.
Once the flight is over, we’ll very quickly add the counts for Day 1F to the Combined Results List, and before too long we’ll post the Official seating draw for Day 2.
