Tuesday, March 13th: Event #1 To Crush The Number, Final Pair Of Flights On Today's Schedule

ICYMI: After an incredibly strong start to Event #1 of the Battles At The Beach, things were even more successful during yesterday's pair of flights.  Flight 1C and Flight 1D drew a total of (320) combined entries, which brings the running total for the tournament to (538).  The official prize pool sits at $72,630, and could reach the $100,000 guaranteed number before this evening's Flight 1F even starts.

Of the (320) entries from yesterday's flights, (48) players were able to bag chips for tomorrow's Day 2, led by Donald Williams (341,500).  Williams was just a few hours removed from a deep run in Hard Rock's Escalator Series, in which he earned a lifetime best cash.  Being one of the top two stacks in Flight 1C, Donald would earn himself the chip lead bonus (a seat into Event #10), and would be joined by Frederico Camara (302,500).  Bagging the bonuses in Flight 1D were Anthony Albano (303,500), and Scott Efron (279,000).  Some other notables to bag during the second day of action were Brett Biegler (213,500), Michael Tait (177,000), Amy Wan (169,000), and Brian Haines (147,000).

Event #1 action will resume at 11:00am (with Flight 1E), as today's schedule offers the final opportunities to join this opening tournament of the series.

Tournaments: The 2018 Battles At The Beach series rolls, with the final pair of Event #1 starting flights.  The $175 No Limit Hold'em event boasts a $100,000 guarantee, which should be eclipsed before tonight's Flight 1F even starts.

The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 20,000 units, and levels that last (25) minutes over the course of the event.  Registration for each starting flight is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), with the action scheduled to conclude after Level 16 (unless the field reaches the 10% mark before that point).  

Flight 1E (11:00am) and Flight 1F (6:00pm) are the last chances for those still looking to bag chips, with Day 2 action resuming tomorrow at 12:00pm (Wednesday).
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 started back on 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).
