Today’s daytime tournament in the 2018 Playground Winter Festival is a $50 + $10 + $50 NL Hold’em 50/50 Bounty tournament. This is an extremely popular format at Playground – the 50/50 refers to the fact that half of the prize pool is “traditional” and the other half is represented by bounty chips held by each player. When a player is eliminated, he or she must give the bounty chip – in this case with a face value of $50 – directly to the player who knocked him/her out.
This is a one-day event that should wrap up in the early evening tonight, and features a $5,000 guarantee – a very healthy guarantee for a daytime tournament. Players will begin with 20,000 in tournament chips and play through 20 minute levels throughout the day.
Cards are in the air in just minutes – good luck on the felts to everyone playing today!
