Just as the players were beginning to bag their chips from Flight 1A, the second flight of the day got started, with the field growing for Flight 1B. After twelve levels of open registration, the official numbers would be posted, with (68) total entries showing on the tournament clock. Three more levels would be left in the night, and after the final Level 15 hand was dealt, a total of nine players remained. The group was headed by Alvin Tight (331,500), who earned himself entry into Event #16 ($1,100 No Limit Hold'em $50,000 GTD), winning the chip lead bonus. Other notables to bag chips from Flight 1B were Anthony Valiente (265,500), John Grasso (240,000), and Joseph Duchman (96,000).
Tournaments: Today's tournament schedule hosts the second pair of Event #10 ($360 No Limit Hold'em) flights, with Flight 1C at 11:00am, followed by Flight 1D at 6:00pm. The $360 No Limit Hold'em tournament carries a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool, and has four more flights over the next two days. Each of the starting flights is structured the same, with starting stacks of 20,000 units. Levels 1-15 will be (30) minutes, and will transition to (40) minutes Levels 16+ (which is Day 2). The chip leader from each flight will earn a "bonus," which is entry into Event #16 ($1,100 No Limit Hold'em $50,000 Guaranteed).
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 started back on 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).
