Here it is folks, the Event #1 of the MILLIONS North America: the Playground 200 is finally here!
Event #1: $200 + $20 Playground 200, boasts a $100,000 Guaranteed prize pool. There are four Day 1 flights and tonight’s Day 1B takes off in a few minutes at 7:00pm. The $200 + $20 buy-in is the most affordable of all of the events and a great way for players to dive right into the action early on in the event series. A huge turnout is expected, and this translates to a very interesting prize pool for a relatively small buy-in.
At last night’s Day 1A, a total of 275 entries were tallied, which included 48 re-entries). Of those entries, 65 players qualified for Day 2. Marc Bourgeois was the top gun with an impressive 366,000 chips, after 14 levels of play. If the turnout last night is any indication, it’s quite possible that the entries tonight might already catapult the prize pool above the $100,000 guarantee.
This event has unlimited re-entries permitted until the end of the late registration period on each Day 1 starting flight. Players start with 25,000 chips, levels increase every 30 minutes and registrations or re-entries are possible until the beginning of level 7, at 10:15 pm.
There’s plenty of time to come down to Playground’s tournament hall and join the fun with the 100 players already seated.
