Tournaments: Players looking for more multi-day tournament action don't have to look far, as the November Tournament Calendar kicks off with the "November $200,000."  The $360 No Limit Hold'em event has eight flights over the next four days, with one afternoon (11:00am) and one evening flight (6:00pm) from Wednesday through Saturday.  Players that bag chips will then be returning on Sunday (12:00pm) for Day 2, battling it out for what's expected to be a healthy first place prize.

The tournament is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (30) minutes over the entirety of the event.  Late and re-entries are able to get into each flight until the end of Level 12, and through the break that follows.  Each flight is scheduled to play (15) levels, or until the field reaches the 12% mark.  The top two chips leaders from each flight will win a seat into the $340 No Limit Hold'em Package Satellite on Wed., November 29th (satellite into $2,500 Single-Day Series and $1,500 Isle Classic Event #1).

Live blogged coverage will be offered on Day 2, bringing followers all of the action, as the tournament plays down to a winner.

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-3:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.

It should also be noted that starting November 1st (today), 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).
