Thursday, September 7th: Focus Shifting From Poker...To Safety

ICYMI: There were two tournaments on yesterday's schedule, but without the entries needed to start the events, both tournaments were cancelled.  Peoples focus is clearly on preparation for the incoming storm, as they should be.  On behalf of the Isle Casino Poker Blog, and the Isle Casino Poker Room, we wish all of our staff, players, and their families a safe next handful of days.

Tournaments: There was one tournament on the schedule for this evening, but it looks as if the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" will be cancelled as well.  

Promotions: The Full House Early Bird promotion is in it's regularly scheduled spot this morning, but it's no longer just for limit hold'em players.  Every table in the poker room (excluding time raked games) is eligible for the promotion, which pays out the first (50) full houses (payout depends on which stakes are being played).  Similar to what is run on Friday's, there will also be $300 awarded to qualifying high hands every (15) minutes (from 12:00pm-4:00pm).
