The field is down to the last seven players which means it’s time for the final table. Nicholas Soller went all in with pocket sevens against Tu Kham Tran but came up short as Tran came up with two pairs. Soller goes home in 8th place with $530.

Here’s a look at who remains.

The field is down to the final eleven players as level 19 comes to a close. Although Tu Kham Tran has a considerable stack, its hard to tell if he is in the lead as a number of competitors have doubled their stacks.

The final table will begin once seven players remain.

Play has resumed after the third break of the night with 17 players remaining. Tu Kham Tran has sustained his lead through 17 levels and shows no signs of slowing down. Tran’s stack of 550,000 in chips is currently worth about 91 big blinds and he has doubled the chip average. Rong Xu is close behind in second after knocking out a few competitors to build his stack and collect their bounties.

The chips are flying! Five eliminations happened almost simultaneously to burst the bubble down to the final 24. All remaining players will walk away with at least $170 plus $100 for each bounty chip they are able to acquire.

The field is 12 eliminations away from being in the money, so naturally play has slowed. Patrick Slight went into level 15 knowing he had to make some big moves if he wanted to add to his short stack. Slight shoved all-in against one of the current chip leaders, Abdul Dandachli.

Slight flipped a against Dandachli’s . The board read , which didn’t do much for either player but Slight was able to survive another round with an ace high.

Play continues…

Players are back in the field after the second break of the night. Tu Kham Tran continues to lead the chip race with an impressive stack of 302,000 in chips. Tran holds a considerable margin over his opponents at the moment but anything can happen especially with the aggressive style of play used in a bounty tournament.

64 players continue to battle it out as level 11 rolls on. The short stacks are making big moves in order to stay alive and collect as many bounty chips as possible. Play is still moving at a relatively fast pace with a lot of bold bluffs and all ins all around. 

Here is a look at what’s happening on the floor:

Play has resumed into level 7 following the first break of the day. The grand total of entries hit 191, including 40 re-entries, before the late registration period closed at 9:15pm. 119 players remain competing for the guaranteed prize pool of $20,000 and hopefully more depending on how many bounty chips players can collect.

Tu Kham Tran is the chip leader after the first break with a stack that triples the current chip average. Tran’s 128,300 in chips is worth about 320 big blinds.

Event #7 is off to a fantastic start. The field is up to 135 entries and counting as level three comes to a close. The late registration and re-entry period will be open for another 90 minutes until 9:15pm, so don’t miss out!

Here’s a look at some early action.

Welcome to the $100 + $20 +$100 6-Max 50/50 Bounty Re-entry! This is the final event of the Playground 9-Year Anniversary Series, wrapping up eight days of exciting tournament poker with a guaranteed prize pool of $20,000.

Competitors will begin with 25,000 in chips and play 6-handed through 20-minute blinds. All players will receive one $100 bounty chip for each player they eliminate from the tournament. Bounty chips can also serve as an all-in chip, meaning that if one is included in any bet or raise, the player will be irrevocably all-in. For all bounty tournaments, the prize pool includes both the traditional prize pool plus the value of each bounty chip players are able to acquire.

This is a re-entry event with unlimited re-entries permitted until the beginning of level seven at 9:15pm. Re-entry is permitted for any player that loses their chips or chooses to forfeit their stack. The final table will begin once seven players remain.

Play has just begun, good luck to all players!
