When 14 players were left in the $200 + $20 Survivor Event, players discussed a deal that would allow for all of them to leave with money tonight. Numbers were agreed upon, and the following table lists our true Survivors, and is followed by a group picture that includes most of them.

Congratulations!

118 players took part in the Survivor Event, resulting in 12 prizes. Position 12 will make $1,552, while the last 11 players will bring home $1,940.

Here are some photographs of players in the Survivor Event:

Tonight’s event in the World Cup of Cards is a $200 + $20 NL Hold’em Survivor tournament. This is the first of two such tournaments in this year’s WCC – there’s a $300 + $30 version of the same tournament on Saturday August 26th. Action gets underway at 7:00pm.

The Survivor format has quickly become a favourite in Playground Poker Club’s festival schedules. The format is a little bit different than a regular poker tournament. Instead of playing down to a winner, play continues until 10% of the field remains – at which time play is halted and everyone still in the event gets an even share of the prize pool!

In a way, it’s similar to a satellite tourney – except that the prize at the end is cash!

A Survivor event such as this one will give the winners a very nice prize at the end of the night – and because play doesn’t continue through the bubble, the pace of the event – and its finishing time – is sure to be very appealing as well!

Registration tonight is open until the end of the break following level 4, which is to say it’s open until 8:30pm.
