The richest festival to ever hit Playground Poker Club is underway. The 2017 Playground Poker Spring Classic presented by partypoker Live kicked off on April 25 and runs through May 10. Headlined by the partypoker Million North America, there is almost $6,000,000 up for grabs.
Getting the party started was the Grand Prix Canada, offering a $500,000 guarantee for just a $220 buy-in. After a total of 28 qualifying flights, 17 online and 11 live, the remaining field is moving on to Day 2. It is not quite clear yet how many total entries the event received but, when registration closed for the final live Day 1 flight at Playground, the guarantee threshold had been crossed with 2,526 entries.
