Thursday, February 2nd: No Limit Players Try Out The Early Bird, "Thursday $10K"

When the "Early Bird Limit Promotion" was introduced last year, it quickly became one of the more popular promotions with the players, and succeeded in getting things off to a quick start.  The times of arriving to the room and waiting for a table to open were no more, as a handful of limit games were being spread, and players were earning a single buy-in (depending on limit) for each full house that was drawn.

It's now time for the no limit hold'em players to join in on the action, as the "Early Bird No Limit Promotion" gets underway this morning.  Players arriving to play no limit between the hours of 9:00-11:00am will receive an "early bird card," which entail enters them in the promotion.  The first (50) full houses of the day with be paid $60 (for 1/2, 2/5, and 5/10 NLH), with the promotion running until the quota has been filled.

There are two tournaments on today's schedule, including the "Thursday $10K," a $40 No Limit Hold'em event with a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool.  This same tournament, which is usually held on Tuesday's, usually attracts somewhere between (300-400) entries.  While the tournament ends in a chop more often than not, the posted first place prize is normally over (100) times the buy-in.
