Welcome to Day 1D of the $200 + $20 Playground 200. This is the marquee event of the February Power Weekend, featuring an outstanding $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. With already 349 entries through the first three starting flights, today’s Day 1D should allow the event to surpass the guarantee.
Players start with 25,000 chips and play through 14 30-minute levels on 10-handed tables. Once space permits, the tables will become nine-handed. All remaining players at the end of level 14 will bag their chips to move on the Day which takes place tomorrow, Sunday, at 1:00pm. Day 2 will play 10 40-minute levels and Day 3 will play down to a winner on Monday at 7:00pm.
The chip leader at the moment is Sebastien Proulx with a bag of 316,000 chips, followed by Karim-Olivier Kamal with 314,500 chips, and Sebastien “Seabass” Drolet-Poitras who bagged 277,000 chips.
This is a re-entry tournament with unlimited re-entries available until the end of the late registration period at the start of level seven, at 2:15pm. The final starting flight, Day 1E, takes place tonight at 7:00pm.
In addition to the juicy prize pool, the winner of the event will also receive the Playground Power Weekend Champion ring!
Good luck to all competitors!
