As the clock ticks closer to 11:30pm, the window of opportunity to take part in the $500 + $50 Playground 500 slowly closes. Late registration closes in exactly 30 minutes, so if you are on the fence about joining the action, now is the time to act if you want to take a shot at the guaranteed $100,000 prize pool. With the chip average sitting at only 71,000, anyone entering the contest now (with 50,000 chips) is only one or two winning hands away from catching up to the pack.

With 99 entries made into tonight’s flight, you could be lucky number 100 – come one down!
