Tournaments: Floor flights of the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) are now in the books, with two more remaining (on today's schedule). Just like the past two days, there are two flights on tap (Flight 1E at 11:00am, and Flight 1F at 6:00pm), along with a satellite at 3:00pm. Each of the flights are structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, (30) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8. Day 1 will play through the conclusion of Level 14, or when the 10% mark is reached (whichever comes first). It should be noted, that when the tournament reaches it's final table, the levels will transition to (40) minutes.
The $40 No Limit Hold'em Satellite (into the $150 No Limit Hold'em $50,000 GTD) begins at 3:00pm, and carries a three seat guarantee. The satellite is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, (15) 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 a "special" promotion that starts this evening, that will also run every Friday and Saturday in April (from 6:00pm-10:00pm). During the listed four-hour time period, high hands will be worth $500, and will be awarded every (20) minutes. In order for the qualifying high hand to be awarded the $500 prize, the hand must be made using both hole cards. Qualifying high hands that are made with one-card, will be awarded a $250 prize.
From 12:00am-9:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
