Playground Poker Club $500 Results

August 1, 2011December 5, 2018 | Playground

Playground Poker Club in Montreal hosted another of its popular Deepstack poker tournaments this past Saturday, once again selling out, and taking alternates well beyond its original 150 player field cap.

When the last seat was filled, 184 entries made for one healthy prize pool for the $500 event. Players fought well into the night for their share of the cash, but in the end one player who has certainly been making a name for himself cleaned up yet again – Christopher ‘d0r1t0s’ McClung claims the top spot, hot off a few decent cashes at the 2011 World Series of Poker and the winner of another $1,500 event hosted in Montreal this spring, where he came first for $71,500. Between the live and virtual felt, ‘d0r1t0s’ is now within 50k of $1,000,000 in confirmed tournament cashes. Chris wasn’t the only one making bank in Montreal this weekend though; here is the list of who made the cash:
