Tournaments: This afternoon was supposed to mark the beginning of the "September $100,000," but unfortunately, "Mother Nature" had different plans. Therefore, the schedule for the rest of the week now consists of recurring events, with the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" kicking off the day's action at 11:00am. The player-favorite event is structured with 25,000 unit starting stacks, and levels of (20) minutes throughout the afternoon.
That tournament is followed by a $75 No Limit Hold'em event, which gets underway at 6:00pm. Players in the evening event will sit down to starting stacks of 15,000 units, playing levels that last (20) minutes over the course of the night.
Promotions: The high hand promotions are in full swing from the moment the doors open this morning, with the "Turbo High Hands" ($100 awarded every 10 minutes from 9:00am-12:00pm, with rollovers) distributing money at a rapid pace. The transition at 12:00pm begins the "Spin To Win" promotion, which has awarded hundreds of thousands since it's inception. It's the high hand promotion that makes all others jealous, and affords those that have a qualifying high hand (awarded every 30 minutes), an opportunity to spin the ever-popular "Money Wheel." The total amount awarded...along with hourly breakdown, will be published tomorrow afternoon, here on the blog.
