Friday, November 24th: Black Friday Hosts Two More "November $100,000 II" Flights

ICYMI: While the poker room was open at it's normally scheduled time yesterday, the tournament schedule saw only the evening slot filled on Thanksgiving.  The opening flight (Flight 1A) of the "November $100,000 II" got underway at 6:00pm, and over the course of the evening, the field grew to a surprising number.  Registration is open throughout each opening flight, so we wouldn't know the official number of entries until the bagging process began.  When the bags were broken out, there would be five players heading to Day 2, from a total of (43) entries.  Isle Poker notable David Coughlin (Lighthouse Point, FL) would lead the way, heading to Sunday with 313,000.  The group would be rounded out by:

Wilmer Diaz - 213,000
Moises Natanel - 165,500
Josef Uljaky - 115,500
A. Nonymous - 36,000

Tournaments:  The $250 No Limit Hold'em "November $100,000 II" continues today, with two more opening flights.  The afternoon flight (Flight 1B) begins at 11:00am, and will be followed at 6:00pm by Flight 1C.  Both starting flights have the same structure, with players sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, and (30) minute levels being played over the event's entirety.  Registration for the tournament is open through Level 15, which means that the opportunity to buy-in on Day 2 is also going to be available.  The top two chip leaders from each flight will earn a "chip lead bonus," and gain entry into next week's $340 Package Satellite (into the $2,500 Single Day Series and Event #1 of the Isle Classic).  Live blogged coverage of the "November $100,000 II" will pick up on Sunday, offering updates from the moment the cards get in the air...to the moment a winner is declared.

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 (Isle Open events not eligible for high hand) 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-9:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.

It should also be noted that starting November 1st, players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand!!!  The payouts for those that use one card are different than the standard numbers listed above, and can be found (full listing of one-card payouts on flyers in the poker room).
