To this point, there have been (862) total entries, with (105) players successfully bagging chips for tomorrow's Day 2. The prize pool sits at $113,784, with the final pair of starting flights on today's schedule. If we see a day that resembles yesterday's happenings, it's possible for the overall prize pool to reach $150,000. Recapping Friday's storylines: Raminder Singh wins the chip lead bonus for Flight 1E, bagging 318,000. Alex Martinez then followed Singh into the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante ($200,000 GTD), after putting 327,500 in his Day 2 bag.
Players interested in potentially grabbing a piece of this massive prize pool have today's final pair of flights to join, with Flight 1G beginning at 11:00am, followed by Flight 1H at 6:00pm.
Tournaments: The starting flights for the $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) finish up today, as the month's first multi-day tournament grows even larger than ever expected. These are the final opportunities to join the action, with players that successfully bag chips, returning on Sunday for Day 2. The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 18,000 units, and levels that will last (25) minutes over the course of the tournament. Registration is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), with the opening flights scheduled to play through Level 16 (or unless the 10% mark is reached before that point). The chip lead bonus is back in a big way, as the largest stack bagged from each flight, will earn a seat into next week's $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante ($200,000 GTD). Live blogged coverage will be available during each afternoon flight, as well as Day 2 (detailed coverage).
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).
