Tournaments: The Monday afternoon time slot (11:00am) hosts a $120 No Limit Hold'em Survivor, with three players guaranteed to walk away with a $400 "package."  Approximately 1 in 4.5 players will make up each "package," so the potential for more than three players to win $400 is always there.  The event is structured with starting stack of 12,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes throughout the afternoon.

The evening tournament (6:00pm) carries the largest guaranteed prize pool for a single-day event on the August schedule.  The $130 No Limit Hold'em tournament has a $25,000 guarantee, and has been one of the most popular tournaments on the recurring schedule.  The structure has players sitting down to starting stacks of 16,000 units, and playing levels of (20) minutes over the course of the night.

Promotions: Outside of the "standard high hand" promotion, there will be "Turbo High Hands" from 9:00am-12:00pm.  During that window of time, $100 will be awarded to the qualifying high hand every (10) minutes (rollovers apply).
