Tournaments: There are two tournaments on the calendar today, the first of which begins at 11:00am ($100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" $3,000 GTD). Players in the event will be sitting down to starting stacks of 18,000 units, and playing levels of (15) minutes throughout. This "staple" weekend event has been in this day/time slot for a long while, and continues to be a favorite of the players.
The evening tournament, which gets underway at 6:00pm, is a $120 No Limit Hold'em event. The tournament is structured with 25,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that are 20/25 minutes in length. The levels start at (20) minutes while registration is open, and once things close (after Level 8), they transition to (25) minutes in length.
