Saturday, January 26th: All About The $1,000 "Bonus Hands," And A $5,000 GTD Evening Event

ICYMI: Official results from Friday's tournament action will be posted shortly after the poker room opens.

Tournaments: Saturday's tournament schedule begins at 11:00am, with a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Seniors 50+" event.  The event is structured with 15,000 unit starting stacks, (25) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8. 

Following the afternoon event (at 6:00pm), is a $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) tournament.  The event is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8. 

Promotions: The high hands will run from 9:00am-12:00am, 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.  

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).

There is also a "Bonus High Hand" period today (from 6:00pm-12:00am), offering players the opportunity to win up to $1,000 every half-hour.  In addition to the "standard" high hand period listed above, if the winning high hand for the half-hour is quads or better (using both hole cards), the prize will be $1,000.  Any other qualifying high hand will revert to the "standard" high hand rules.

From 12:00am-9:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
