Tournaments: Today's Isle Open schedule is very similar to yesterday's, with one championship schedule event, and one secondary event schedule (except the times are flip-flopped).  This afternoon (11:00am), it's a satellite that starts the action, giving players the opportunity to earn entry into two major events remaining in this series (Event #7 and Event #15).  The $170 No Limit Hold'em Satellite (Package Into $360 and $1,100) guarantees (4) packages, each worth $1,460.  The structure has players sitting down to starting stacks of 12,000 units, and playing levels throughout the tournament of (20) minutes.

That satellite is followed at 6:00pm by Event #6, a $100 No Limit Hold'em "Deep Stack Turbo Bounty," with an $18,000 guaranteed prize pool.  This is one of the most popular "recurring events" finding it's way to the Isle Open schedule, with a pretty sizable guarantee.  It's a recipe for a big turnout...and even bigger payouts.  Players should be pretty familiar with the event's structure, which has starting stacks of 18,000 units, and levels of (15) minutes.  Registration is open until the end of Level 10, with an optional add-on available to players at that point ($25 for 10,000 units, with 100% of add-on money going towards the prize pool).

Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am (midnight), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes.  During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.  From 12:00am-3:00am (Tuesday morning), players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.
