Super Sunday Takes a Break
Dec 9, 2019, 5:05 PM
In order to accommodate the increased needs in tournament tables caused by Day 2 of the Grand Prix Canada, the December 15 edition of Super Sunday will be cancelled. The Grand Prix Canada, guaranteed at $500,000 and offering 19 Day 1s to choose from, is sure to qualify a vast number of players for next Sunday’s Day 2, and will without a doubt monopolize a great number of tables on that day. However, we can guarantee that the day will be more Super for a bunch of players, as Day 2 of the Grand Prix Canada will send the last 16 standing to the conclusion of the 9-Year Anniversary Main Event, on Monday, December 16, where the monster prizes await! 19 starting flights to choose from… survive one of them, and next Sunday may be even more exciting than you planned!

A Second BBJ in One Week!
Dec 4, 2019, 4:02 PM
Just three days after a quad-over-quad BBJ hit, another group of players got their own BBJ experience! This one arose after a heads-up pre-flop showdown, as both players involved – two long-time Playground regulars – were holding some serious hole cards. Just fifteen minutes after the table opened, the special hand started. Eric raised the pot to $10. The button made it $30 to go, and after Roland called from the small blind position, Eric shoved his whole stack. The player who placed the $30 3-bet reluctantly got out of the way, and Roland called for an effective $78. Eric: Roland: The flop was very promising, missing only one card to unlock the Bad Beat Jackpot. That card appeared right away, allowing celebrations before the board was completed. Full board: The amount of $25,394 was shared by the seven players present, awarding $12,697 to Eric and $6,349 to Roland. The […]
December Off To a Good Start!
Dec 2, 2019, 3:09 PM
On Sunday, the first day of December, the afternoon was coming to an end when a very special hand unfolded on one of our $1/$2 cash game tables. The game was full, but one player was on break, leaving eight players dealt in. After one call, Timothy raised the pot to $10, a very standard raise at these stakes. Two players cold called the bet, and the limper joined in. 4-way flop: The first 2 players to act passed the option to the raiser, who placed a smallish $20 continuation bet. Manpreet called, and was left alone with the aggressor, out of position. When the appeared on the turn, Manpreet politely passed the option over to Timothy, again. Another $20 were bet and called. The river: . If you’re holding quad 3s, this river is as beautiful as can be. You either win a big pot, or win the Bad […]

6-Max Bounty Champion: Kayden Stacey
Nov 26, 2019, 4:52 AM
Event #7: $150 + $20 + $50 6-Max Bounty was the final tournament of the November Power Weekend. The tournament featured a $15,000 guaranteed prize pool but once the late registration period came to a close, with the 135 entries, the prize pool swelled to $26,190! The pace was fast and furious as players were battling it out with each other trying to pick up a $50 bounty chip for knocking out their adversary. Langis de Grand Pre took the early lead but in the end he busted as the bubble boy, however he collected $200 for his efforts as the players had agreed to a bubble deal. Frederic Robert was also one of the leaders, crushing as the night moved along, but in the end, he fell in 12th spot for $320. When the final table was formed, at first it appeared as if Karim Abdelhamid was in control and […]
