Day 1C of the Playground 200 brought out an impressive field of 171 entries. The huge turnout this afternoon brought the total number of entries in this event to 450. The final starting flight, Day 1D, begins tonight at 7:00pm, and it is likely to be the most popular yet, putting this event on pace to easily surpass the $100,000 prize pool guarantee.

There was no shortage of high-paced action this afternoon. In the early levels, many players adopted a “boom-or-bust” approach, which led to 37 re-entries. Play tightened up following the end of the late registration and re-entry period, before re-gaining the rhythm seen earlier in the day during the last two levels.

When it was time to bag chips following level 14, there were 36 players remaining, which brings the total number of Day 2 qualifiers to 98. Play will resume for Day 2 tomorrow at 1:00pm.
