Thursday, February 6th: The Buzz Continues To Grow, In Regards To Tomorrow's $400 No Limit Hold'em ($40,000 GTD)

ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament schedule hosted two $60 No Limit Hold'em satellites into tomorrow's $400 No Limit Hold'em ($40,000 GTD).  While the official results have not yet been submitted for release, we can tell you that a total of (5) seats were awarded over the course of the day.  There is another satellite on today's schedule, allowing players another chance to join the weekend's action, for just a fraction of the price.

Tournaments: As mentioned above, today's tournament action gets started at 11:00am, with a $60 No Limit Hold'em satellite into the $400 No Limit Hold'em ($40,000 GTD).  The satellite is structured with 8,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and has registration that is open through Level 8.  Approximately 1 in 8 players will earn a seat into tomorrow's festivities, with any extra money in the prize pool, earning a cash prize.

In the evening time slot, we have the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster" ($3,000 GTD), one of (if not) the most popular recurring tournaments on the schedule.  The event is structured with 50,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

Promotions: The doors open at 9:00am, with three hours of "Turbo High Hands," as $100 will be awarded every (10) minutes (rollovers apply).  The promotion runs from 9:00am-12:00pm, and has quickly become popular with the players (as the rollovers have seen some high hands reach the $1,000 mark!!!).

The standard high hand promotion then takes over, and runs from 12:00pm-12:00am.  Qualifying high hands will be awarded $300, given away every (30) minutes (no rollovers).  During that period, if the winning high hand is made using one card, a $150 prize will be awarded.  For those players playing in a tournament, winning high hands will be paid out $100.

From 12:00am-3:00am, $100 high hands will be awarded every (60) minutes.
