Tournaments: The end of the year schedule rolls on, with two more events on today's tournament schedule.  The first of which begins at 11:00am, and is a $120 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack," which carries a $3,000 guarantee.  As you can see (by yesterday's results), not only does this tournament boast a generous structure, but it also offers up a nice prize pool ($1,591 for yesterday's first place prize).  The event is structured with starting stacks of 25,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes over the course of the afternoon.

The "Monster Stack" is followed at 6:00pm, by a $60 No Limit Hold'em event, which has a nice guaranteed prize pool of $8,000.  The tournament sees players sitting down to starting stacks of 14,000 units, and playing levels that last (20) minutes.  There is also an optional add-on at the end of registration (after Level 8), with players getting a return of 10,000 units for $20 (with 100% of the add-on money going towards the prize pool).


Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am (midnight), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes.  During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible (Isle Open events not eligible for high hand) each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.  From 12:00am-9:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.

It should also be noted that started back on November 1st, players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand!!!  The payouts for those that use one card are different than the standard numbers listed above, and can be found (full listing of one-card payouts on flyers in the poker room).
