Wednesday, May 30th: It's "Mega Satellite" Day For Tomorrow's $1,100 NLH Single-Ante ($50,000 GTD)

ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament schedule was all about the "step satellite" into today's pair of $240 No Limit Hold'em "Mega Satellites," which both have five seat guarantees.  The results of those "step satellites" will be posted here on the blog, later this (early) afternoon.

Tournaments: As mentioned above, today is about the "mega satellite" into tomorrow's $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante ($50,000 GTD).  There is an 11:00am option for players, along with a 6:00pm option in the early evening.  Both of the "mega satellites" have five seat guarantees, and run with the same structure.  Players will be sitting down to starting stacks of 12,000 units, and will play levels that last (20) minutes.  Registration is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), which is just over (180) minutes from the start of each event.

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 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).
