Tournaments: Wednesday's tournament schedule starts as it normally does, but then has a special event this evening, introduced for the first time as a daily event. The action begins at 11:00am, with the $120 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD). The structure stays the same (as yesterday), with starting stacks of 25,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes over the course of the event. It's one of the most generous structures a player will see for a daily event, and is by far one of the player favorites, in the afternoon time slot.
The $2,500 No Limit Hold'em "Single-Day" was introduced in August, and has since been run each month since. One of the things that stood out about the event was it's structure, which is of the "single-ante" variety, and allows for some "different" play. There are definitely more hands played with the big blind posting the ante for the table (pace of play), and also changes the dynamic of big blind play over the course of the event. The $175 buy-in tournament is structured with 24,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (20) minute over the course of the night. Outside of the "newly introduced" structure, there is a healthy $25,000 guaranteed prize pool, which should attract a big field for the night before Thanksgiving.
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 starting 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).
