LIVE EVENTS

Day 1B of the $100 + $10 Playground 100 has come to a close after an exciting day. 101 entries have been narrowed down to the final 11 which will advance to Day 2, which will be held on Sunday, November 24, at 3:00pm.

Players made the most of the unlimited re-entry format and took every opportunity to run up their stacks in the early stages. Tyler Lee held a significant lead after the first break but fell behind to Stephane Boisvert after the second break. As the pressure mounted and more players were eliminated, Boisvert continued to lead at the third break with a stack of over triple the chip average. 

The action kept up at a brisk pace throughout the afternoon. Once the field reached the money bubble, hand for hand play dragged things out for an additional level. There were several spots where players were all in and at risk, but in each case the short stack survived. Eventually the blinds caught up to the shorter stacks in play and forced the action. The final hand of play was a pre-flop all in where the larger stack was fortunate enough to flop the nuts and bring about the end of this flight.

In the later stages of play, Boisvert seemed to lose momentum and Tyler Lee took advantage. Lee took the top spot once again ending the day with a total of 358,500 in chips. Boisvert came in at a close second with 350,500 in chips.

Congratulations to all players that have advanced to Day 2 and good luck on Sunday!

It’s down to 21 players as play resumes after the third break, and everyone is eager to stay in contention for a spot on Day 2. Players are starting to feel the pressure as only the top 11 players will make it to Day 2.

Stephane Boisvert holds the top spot with a large lead over his competitors. His stack is almost triple the chip average!

Play has just resumed in level 12, and this flight has a new chip leader.

Former chip leader Tyler Lee fell back into the back, while Stephane Boisvert put together a strong run to take his stack beyond triple the current chip average. The field now counts three players with six-figure stacks, as they home stretch has come into view on the horizon. The top 11 players will make the money and advance their stacks to Day 2, so the pressure will only mount from here.

Day 1B of the Playground 100 got off to a fast start this afternoon. There was a large crowd ready and waiting for the start of play, with new players and re-entries arriving at a steady pace since then. There have already been eight re-entries through three levels of play, which shows that the players are making the most of the unlimited re-entry format and taking every opportunity to run up their stacks in the early stages.

Here is a look at the action from the early levels of play:

Day 1B of the $100 + $10 Playground 100 will begin shortly at 12:00pm. Players will start with 20,000 in chips and play through 20-minute levels on each Day 1. This multi-day event boasts a guaranteed prize pool of $50,000, providing outstanding value at a modest buy-in.

Each starting flight will play 10-handed and move to 9-handed as soon as possible. Each Day 1 plays down to 10% of the field, at which point the money will be reached, and the players will bag their chips. Day 2 will be held on Sunday, November 24, at 3:00pm.

This is a re-entry event with unlimited re-entries permitted until the beginning of Level 7 on each Day 1. Players may enter additional Day 1s even if they 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 must be forfeited.

19 players have advanced to Day 2 after the first two starting flights. The overall chip leader is Hugo Fontaine with 459,000 in chips. The combined Day 1 results can be found here.

The action is about to begin, good luck to all!
