The Playground 500 attracted a total of 260 entries from three live starting flights and an online Day 1 on partypoker. The large turnout allowed this event to easily surpass the $100,000 prize pool guarantee, meaning that there are some huge payouts waiting for the top finishers.
When play resumes at noon today, 59 players will take to the felts and play for ten 45-minute levels before bagging chips for tomorrow’s Day 3. The field will reach the money this afternoon, as the top 33 finishers will be in the money.
When play begins, the Day 2 qualifiers will be seated according to the following table.
