Day 1D was the largest of the first four starting flights of Event #18 of the World Cup of Cards, the $100 + $10 Playground 100, attracting a total of 194 entries. There have now been a total of 617 entries between four starting flights, with still one more flight, Day 1E (turbo) which plays out tomorrow morning at 11:00am. The prize pool has swelled well beyond the $50,000 guarantee, outstanding value for sure in this modest priced buyin multi-day event!
By the time the first break came around, Tom D. had built up a monster stack but he failed to make it to the top 20. Michel Leblanc took the lead at the second break but unfortunately he busted out on the bubble when he put his chips in with king-jack and was called by Andy D’Alessandro holding pocket queens. At the second break Hamzah Ozor was sitting on the leaderboard right behind Leblanc and he stayed on the leaderboard all night long. By the time the third and last break of the evening came to be, it was Maxim Suszec-Guerin in the top spot followed by Guillaume Lincourt.
When it was all said and done, the top three stacks of the night were:
- Hamzah Ozor, 431,000 chips
- Maxim Suszec-Guerin, 367,000 chips
- Guillaume Lincourt, 362,500 chips
