The temperature outside might be below freezing, but the poker action will be hotter than ever! Running from February 27 to March 10, 2015, Playground Poker Club is hosting the first Playground Winter Festival.
The festival kicks off with "The Wild $150," a reentry event with four starting flights and a $100,000 guarantee. It continues with 14 other events including a $330 two-day Freeze, a mixed hold’em/Omaha event, and a $220 Survivor tourney.
The $1,100 Main Event will begin on Friday, March 6 and feature two Day 1s (next-day reentry), and it has a massive $500,000 guaranteed prize pool!

The Hollywood Poker Open rolls out another event on its season 3 March today as the Tunica Regional Main Event is set for a noon kickoff. Previous events at Lawrenceburg and Toledo drew well, with bracelet winner Jesse McEuen and amateur Charles Maxcy taking down solid chunks of prize money, the latter doing so as part of a six-way chop in which he bagged a seat at the season finale in Las Vegas.
Today's $1,115 Regional Main Event follows in the footsteps of last year's event, at which tour ambassador and former Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker navigated to a third-place finish in what was then an $1,800 event. Toby Mathews was able to take that one down, defeating Jonathan Taylor heads up.
Cards begin flying at noon with a slow structure that should offer the participants plenty of play, so stay tuned to PokerNews as another HPO event unfolds with live update.
