The Playground 100 gained momentum this afternoon with another popular starting flight, Day 1B. A total of 136 entries took part in the action, and 14 players advanced to Sunday’s Day 2.

As we have come to expect, the action started slowly and picked up pace as the end of the late registration and re-entry period approached. Play tightened up following the first break of the day, but things only loosened up from there. The names on the leaderboard were in constant flux until the late stages of the flight, when David Bonneau emerged as the clear chip leader. Bonneau quietly built his stack throughout the afternoon before he jumped out in front of the pack during level 15 and did not look back from there.

Despite his success on Day 1B, Bonneau still trails the overall chip leader, Jason Teurquety, by a significant margin. To see the combined Day 1 results, click here.

Day 1C is currently underway, and the last two starting flight for the Playground 100, Day 1D and Day 1E, will be held tomorrow at 11:00am and 7:00pm, respectively.
