As we say in the Montreal area, a tough winter just makes springtime that much sweeter! Temperatures are rising, the snow is almost gone and in 10 days, the spring will reach its apex as the Playground Poker Spring Classic, presented by partypoker.net, gets underway. Judging by the number of satellite entries, it’s shaping up to be a great event!
There have already been 36 seats awarded, a number that got a huge bump last night (Wednesday April 8th) as the partypoker.net Mega Overlay satellite event wrapped up. This edition of the Mega Overlay added 17 entries into the event. In addition, there are at LEAST another 32 entries yet to be awarded in live satellites and that’s just counting the guaranteed seats yet to come.
Online poker is another important way for people to win their way into big events. Satellites have been running on partypoker for several weeks, and early indications are that there will be a very solid number of online qualifiers battling it out for the WPT Championship Belt.
The partypoker.net WPT Canadian Spring Championship ($3,200 + $300) gets underway on May 1st with 2 Day 1s.
