Day 1B had a great turnout. In all, 25 players opted to re-enter, which helped bring the total number of entries up to 162 on the day. Today’s field surpassed the entries from Day 1A to put the Playground 1000 on pace to surpass the prize pool guarantee and sets up a huge final starting flight.

Several players had turns at the top of the leaderboard today. At the first break, Fadi Al Akzam led the way with a stack of more than double the chip average at the time. Al Akzam kept his momentum, but he was surpassed by several players by the next break. Ha Van Nguyen shot to the front of the pack after the second break but had a narrow lead over the field. At the final break of the day, Senthuran Vijayaratnam was the chip leader, but the final stages of the flight were dominated by William Molson, who bagged the largest stack of the day.
