Day 1b of the Playground1000 gets underway at noon local time on Saturday inside Playground Poker Club. Players will put up $1,100 with the hope of banking their share of the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. The third of five qualifying flights, the field currently sits at 197 entries after Day 1a and the online Day 1 on partypoker.

Georges Halak set the mark on Friday at Playground, bagging a monstrous 626,500 to close out Day 1a. Benoit Lord (453,800), Samuel Chartier (451,200), and Terris Preston (403,900) have the next biggest stacks on the leaderboard.
