Looking Back at the Playground Poker Montreal Festival
Posted by: Jo Martin - Wed, 2014-09-03 08:09
The Playground Poker Montreal Festival has grown into one of the staple events of the international poker circuit as it has indeed been a series increasingly more interesting for high stakes pros as well as for the rank and file crowd.
This year’s festival was indeed a hugely successful one: through only 12 of its 16 scheduled events, it awarded more than $1.4 million in prizes. Included in this handsome sum is the $190.7k prize that the winner of the Main Event takes home. The Main Event alone generated a prize-pool of over $1 million.
Even as we’re looking back at the success the Playground Poker Montreal Festival turned out to be, it has to be remembered that the Playground Poker Club is not a one-trick pony. As one large event wraps up there, another one is on the horizon, and the Playground Poker Fall Classic is indeed drawing near fast.
Sign up to bwin Poker and take advantage of some of the most generous sports-related promotions the online poker industry can currently offer.
The Fall Poker Classic will indeed provide a huge draw for players all over the world, as it will include the 2014 WPT Montreal as well.
The schedule of the series is once again an all-encompassing one in the sense that it has something to offer to everyone. Small stakes small-timers will have their opportunities, as will well-bankrolled professional players. As it’s usually the case, the Fall Poker Classic will kick off with a small buy-in event, called The Wild $150, to be followed by the $250 Frenzy. Both of these
poker tournaments are accessible for the masses and they both offer rather impressive guarantees.
The WPT event is a televised one and it features a $3,850 buy-in. There will also be a high roller, the $10.4k one, which managed to draw in no fewer than 60 players last year.
