Saturday, March 11th: $2,000 High Hands Highlight Saturday's Schedule

ICYMI: Friday's schedule was heavily weighted towards the high hand promotions, but there was one tournament on the schedule.  A total of (73) entries entered the $150 No Limit Hold'em $10,000 GTD event, with eight place getting paid, and an official first place (posted) prize of $3,500.  After two eliminations at the final table, the remaining players were in the money, and an eight-way chop was agreed to.  Donald Day (Pembroke Pines, FL) was declared the winner, and earned himself just over $1,700.  While many of the names that made up the deal were new to followers of the blog, Isle Poker notable Zaki Lichaa (Pompano Beach, FL) took home seventh place money ($941).

Tournaments: There are two tournaments on the schedule today, including the return of the ever-popular "free roll," which has a $5,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The evening event (6:00pm) see the return of the "New Monster Stack," a $120 No Limit Hold'em tournament that offers (25) minute levels, and a starting stack of 25,000 ($8,000 GTD).

Promotions: It takes something big to overshadow a "free roll" and well structured tournament, but today's high hand promotion manages to do that.  While the "standard" high hands are in place for a portion of the day, there is a window from 1:00pm-10:00pm where qualifying high hands earn $2,000!  During the time period, the high hands will be awarded every (60) minutes, with all games in the room eligible for the monstrous giveaway.
