Saturday, August 11th: Another Action Packed Saturday, With $1,000 High Hands, And Two Tournaments To Choose From

ICYMI: Friday's tournament schedule started with the final $90 No Limit Hold'em Satellite Into CPPT Event #1 ($360 No Limit Hold'em $200,000 GTD), which got underway at 11:00am.  The satellite saw registration close with (17) entries, with the (5) seats that were guaranteed, scheduled to be awarded.  The players to earn seats into next week's headlining event are posted below:

The evening time slot (6:00pm) hosted the third flight of the $175 No Limit Hold'em "Night Owl" ($50,000 GTD), with Flight 1C attracting a total of (75) entries.  Play would eventually reached the 10% mark, as (8) players remained in Level 17.  Joseph Marchese would bag the flight's lead with 370,000, with the official list of Flight 1C chip counts posted below:

Joseph Marchese - 370,000

After three completed opening flights, the "Night Owl" has a combined total of (205) entries, with (22) players now scheduled to return for Day 2 (Monday at 6:00pm).  The official prize pool currently sits at $28,085, with two more flights remaining.

Tournaments: Saturday's afternoon time slot (11:00am) sees a return to the "standard" recurring schedule, after four satellites in a row.  The $250 No Limit Hold'em "Black Chip Bounty" makes it's way back to the schedule, awarding a very healthy $100 for each player elimination in the event.  The tournament is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (30) minutes.  Registration for the event is open through Level 8, allowing players more than four hours to come and join the action.

The evening time slot hosts the fourth of five starting flights for the "Night Owl," a $175 No Limit Hold'em multi, that boasts a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool.  Each of the flights has a 6:00pm starting time (hence the "Night Owl" moniker), and is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, along with (20) minute levels.  Registration is open through the first eight levels, with play scheduled to end after Level 18 (or when the 10% mark is reached).  Players that successfully bag chips will be returning on Monday (August 13th) for Day 2 (6:00pm).

Promotions: The standard high hands begin at 10:00am, 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.  

At 6:00pm-1:00am, the promotion transitions, and offers the opportunity for players to earn $1,500 every (30) minutes.  During that time period, high hands will be awarded as follows:

NLH: 2 Cards ($1,000) 1 Card ($500)
3/6 Limit Hold'em (And Higher): 2 Cards ($500) 1 Card ($250)
2/2 & 2/4 Limit Hold'em: 2 Cards ($500) 1 Card ($250)
Tournament: 2 Cards ($500) 1 Card ($250)

(In flop games, to be awarded the $1,500, you must flop the high hand)

From 12:00am-10:00am, 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).
