ICYMI: Outside of the two mega-satellites for the Battles At The Beach, yesterday's tournament schedule hosted the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster" ($3,000 GTD).  Players continued to show up strong, as the field closed with a total of (47) entries, and an official prize pool of $4,559.  Seven spots were scheduled to get paid, and post money-bubble, action would play down to the point where things were three-handed.  The remaining players would agree to a chop, with Alberto Faur (Miami, FL) taking home first place money ($1,510).  A full list of official results are posted below:
  1. Alberto Faur (Miami, FL) $1,510

Tournaments: With the month of March now upon us, and the tournament schedule recently released, players may have noticed the proliferation of satellites (for the 2020 Battles At The Beach).  The premier day for satellites is on March 19th, as there will be at least (30) seats awarded into the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event ($250,000 GTD).  Leading up to those mega-satellites, there are (31) step-satellites that players can choose from, trying to gain entry for a fraction of the price.  There are three step-satellites on today's schedule, playing out at 11:00am, 3:00pm, and 6:00pm.

Promotions: Beginning at 9:00am (every day of the week), $100 high hands will be awarded every (10) minutes, with rollovers applying. Because of those rollovers, we have seen the 9:00am-12:00pm period award prizes of $400...$700...even $1,000, over the past month.

The "standard" high hands will be awarding $300 every (30) minutes (from 12:00pm-6:00pm).  Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded to those that use one card to make the high hand.  For those players in tournaments, high hands are worth $100.

At 6:00pm, the high hands grow even larger, as $500 will be awarded every (30) minutes.  The winning high hands made with one card (during the 6:00pm-midnight period) will be awarded $250.

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