We came across a hand that featured a little bit of everything – draws, made hands, blockers, more draws.
Ysraël-Masliah Moryoussef: 
Jason Conforti: 
Mihail Tzoner: 
Board: 
Moryoussef took the main pot for himself – a nice triple-up, but Conforti and Tzoner had quite a bit of side action, enough for Conforti to show a profit in the hand. As the side pot chips went in on the turn, this is when players tabled their cards.
Tzoner was taken out. We may very well see him again as the Event allows unlimited re-buys. 13 of those have taken place so far.
On tap tonight, we have Day 3 of the Frenzy, a survivor tournament, and the Event many of you have been waiting for: Event 7 – PLO 50/50 Bounty, priced at $100 + $20 + $100. A $10,000 guarantee is on the line for this Event, guaranteeing 50 players in the field.
You have until 8h30pm to jump in and dabble with 4 cards – you can also re-enter as many times as you want during that period. The ”Shuffle up and Deal” announcement has just been voiced, and cards are in the air!
Event #7 of the 2018 Playground Poker Winter Festival is the 50/50 PL Omaha re-entry bounty with a guaranteed prize pool of $10,000. This format offers bounties, re-entries and four cards – what more could a player ask for? Players will start with deep stacks – 25,000 in chips – with the option to re-enter until the end of late registration. Every player will have a bounty chip worth $100 so you only need to eliminate two players to freeroll this tournament. The event starts at 7:00pm, but players have four levels play to enter and re-enter so expect the action to be fast and loose. Head down to Playground and join the field!
