The evening's flight (Flight 1D) grew to be the largest of the four that have been completed, as registration closed with (101) entries. After a full sixteen levels of play, the flight would finish with (11) players bagging Day 2 chips, led by Juan Mubarak (194,000).
To this point in the event, there have been a combined total of (370) entries, with (40) players bagging chips for Day 2. Heading into the weekend, and the final four flights, the prize pool sits at $48,840. With the largest flights ahead, it's now anyone's guess to as how large this number will grow to.
Tournaments: The $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) continues today, as the month's first multi-day tournament grows even larger. There will be four more flights over the next two days, with players that successfully bag chips, returning on Sunday for Day 2. The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 15,000 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 the end of month $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante ($50,000 GTD).
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 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).
