Tournaments: Saturday's tournament action begins at 11:00am, with the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" ($3,000 GTD).  The structure stays the same as the installments that fall on other days of the week, with players sitting down to starting stacks of 18,000 units, and playing levels that last (15) minutes throughout the event.  There is also an optional add-on at the end of Level 10 (when registration closes), with players able to grab another 10,000 units towards their stacks for $25 (100% of the add-on money goes towards the prize pool).

Tournament players that are searching for good value and solid structure, need to look no further than tonight's event.  The $120 No Limit Hold'em event begins at 6:00pm, and boasts a very player-friendly structure.  The starting stack is 25,000 units, with levels that start at (20) minutes, and transition to (25) minutes (once registration closes).  This offers deep play in the later stages of the event, something many tournament regulars are looking for.

Promotions: The high hand promotions take another "breather" today, between yesterday's (11) hours worth of "turbo" high hands, tomorrow's (7) hours of $300 high hands (awarded every 15 minutes).  The "standard high hand" procedure is in place, awarded prizes to qualifying high hands every (30) minutes (with rollovers).
