This is your chance to play the most affordable multi-day tournament of the Power Weekend: The $100 + $10 Playground 100 offers players a whopping $50,000 guaranteed prize pool that can easily swell to substantially more. It’s a great opportunity to play for a big payday at the same buy-in as many of Playground’s daily tournaments so stop what ever it is that you are doing and come join the action.
Players start with 20,000 chips and play starts off ten-handed with 20 minute blind levels, and will move to nine-handed play once the field thins out just a little bit. This is a re-entry event with unlimited re-entries permitted until the end of the late registration period on each Day 1 starting flight. Re-entry is permitted for any player that loses all their chips or chooses to forfeit their stack. A player may play additional Day 1s even if they have survived a previous Day 1 with chips. Players who qualify for Day 2 more than once will resume play on Day 2 with their largest qualifying stack; all other qualifying stacks will be forfeited. Players would, however, retain the associated cash prize for every forfeited stack. Players may enter (or re-enter) the tournament until the beginning of Level 7 on each Day 1, which will be at 9:15pm.
Play will continue on all Day 1 starting flights until only 10% of the field remains, at which point all players will be in the money as they bag their chips for day 2.
There was an online day flight that took place this past weekend on partypoker that saw 39 players try their skills at making it into Day 2. The four Day 2 qualifiers are led by Hugo Fontaine, who set himself apart from the pack with a stack of 458,500, nearly quadruple the amount of the next closest qualifier. The combined Day results for the Playground 100 can be found here.
Other day 1 starting flights are as follows:
- Day 1B: Friday, November 22 at 12:00PM
- Day 1C: Friday, November 22 at 7:00PM
- Day 1D: Saturday, November 23 at 11:00AM
- Day 1E Turbo: Saturday, November 23 at 4:00PM
- Day 1F: Saturday, November 23 at 8:00PM
Day 2 will be held on Sunday, November 24 at 3:00pm and play until there is a winner.
With already 73 players seated in the room, this is looking like it will be a really big success.
Good luck to all of the players!
