Tournaments: The monthly tournament calendar usually sees Friday's with just one tournament on the slate, unless there is a multi-day event going on...or the "Single-Day Series" is making it's return. The $2,500 No Limit Hold'em (one-day event) found it's way to the schedule last month (August 22nd), and surprised most everyone with it's success. The prize pool, which was comprised of (75) total entries, surpassed $172,000!!! Ian O'Hara (Boca Raton, FL) bested Josh Hillock during heads-up play, taking home the "inaugural" title, along with $51,750. This months installment of the "Single-Day Series" offers an even better structure, with two levels added at the beginning of the day. Players in the event will be sitting down (12:00pm) to starting stacks of 100,000 units, with levels of (30) minutes being played over the course of the afternoon/evening.
For those players wanting to pass on the $2,500 buy-in this afternoon, there is a more "reasonably" priced-point tournament at 6:00pm. The $75 No Limit Hold'em tournament is structured with 15,000 unit starting stacks, along with (20) minute levels.
Promotions: From the moment the doors to the poker room open, the "bonus" high hands are in effect. Things start with the "Turbo High Hands," with $100 awarded to the qualifying high hand every (10) minutes. With less tables in the morning hours, we usually see rollovers on a consistent basis, some of which get as high as $600-$700. The ten minute high hands run from 9:00am-12:00pm, and then transition to a different promotion.
Things are still "turbo-ish," with $250 high hands awarded every (20) minutes, from the hours of 12:00pm-4:00pm. The promotion only gets richer after that, as one last transition sees $500 awarded every (20) minutes, from the hours of 4:00pm-12:00am.
