Tournaments: Saturday is a big day for tournaments, with two tournaments that boast a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The afternoon event, which begins at 11:00am, is a $175 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($10,000 GTD).  The tournament is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (25) minutes over the course of the event.  Registration is open through Level 10, giving some extra time for players to join the action.  There is a $50 bounty in the tournament, awarded for each play elimination.

The "bounty" event is followed, at 6:00pm, by a $150 No Limit Hold'em "Deepstack" ($10,000 GTD).  Players in the tournament will be sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, and playing levels that last (20) minutes.  Just like the afternoon event, registration is open through Level 10, which is just over three hours from the beginning of the tournament.


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 (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.
