Saturday, November 19th: Weekend Warriors Out In Force

For many players who have numerous engagements that keep them from being able to spend time playing poker during the week, it's Saturday and Sunday they look forward to on the felt.  Those are the "weekend warriors," and while the cash games will be busiest over the weekends, it's the tournament lineup they come for.  Things get started at 11:00am, as the $100 NLH "Big Stack Turbo" w/ $25 bounties event gets underway, boasting a $3,000 guarantee.  While many professional tournament grinders enjoy the long levels and minimal blind skips, this Big Stack Turbo offers the opportunity to play a poker tournament (potentially see a great return on investment), and still have non-poker plans at night.

The guarantee grows to $5,000 for the evening event, which starts at 7:00pm, and has a very affordable $75 buy-in.  Both events on the schedule will attract nice side fields, so don't be surprised when both guarantees are surpassed (with some room to spare).

11:00am - $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo" w/ $25 Bounties ($3,000 GTD):

- Players start with 18,000 in tournament chips
- Late and re-entries for the first (10) levels
- Alternate and late entries will start with a full stack
- Optional player add-on at the end of Level (10), with $25 getting players 10,000 in tournament chips.  100% of the money from add-ons goes into the prize pool
- Levels are (15) minutes in length throughout the tournament

6:00pm - $75 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 Guaranteed):

- Players start with 25,000 in tournament chips
- Late and re-entries for the first (8) levels
- Alternate and late entries will start with a full stack 
- Levels are (20) minutes in length throughout the tournament
