Tuesday, April 24th: After Successful "Step Satellites," Two Options To Win Seat Directly Into $1,100 NLH Single-Ante On Today's Schedule

ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament schedule was all about "steps," as the $65 No Limit Hold'em "Step Satellite" Into $240 NLH Satellite was in both the afternoon, and evening time slot.  The afternoon "step satellite" attached a total of (36) entries, and ended up awarding seven seats into a future $240 NLH Satellite, and one cash spot ($48).  The results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. Morris Heider ($240 Satellite Seat)
  2. François Gagne ($240 Satellite Seat)
  3. Julio Melendez ($240 Satellite Seat)
  4. Alan Dubrow ($240 Satellite Seat)
  5. Juan Madrid ($240 Satellite Seat)
  6. Brian Haines ($240 Satellite Seat)
  7. Carl Slutz ($240 Satellite Seat)
  8. Julian Wohlgemuth ($48 Cash)
The evening installment of the "step satellite" attracted a total of (41) entries, and awarded eight seats into a future $240 NLH Satellite (and one cash spot).  The official results from the tournament are listed below: 
  1. Eugene Alkes ($240 Satellite Seat)
  2. Ursula Buffa ($240 Satellite Seat)
  3. Alan Brostroff ($240 Satellite Seat)
  4. Brunel Sicar ($240 Satellite Seat)
  5. Kenmhall Grant ($240 Satellite Seat)

  7. James Powers ($240 Satellite Seat)
  8. Donald Gordon ($240 Satellite Seat)
  9. Celso Leroy ($48 Cash)
Tournaments: Today's tournament schedule is all about satellites as well, but these are directly into the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante ($200,000 GTD), and what players yesterday were trying to gain entry into.  The $240 No Limit Hold'em Satellite Into $1,100 Single-Ante will run twice today, and two more times over the course of the week (Thursday and Friday night).  The satellite is structured with starting stacks of 12,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes.  For every five entries in the field, a seat will be awarded, with at least five seats expected to be offered during each satellite (that is an educated opinion, not a guarantee).  Registration is open through Level 8, allowing players until 2:00pm to join the action.


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).
