A look at the tournament's numbers sees a combined total of (489) entries to this point, which equates to a $74,328 prize pool. The $100,000 guaranteed number will likely be surpassed in the early stages of tonight's evening flight (Flight 1F), with Sunday's action just padding the pool. It was clear from the beginning that this was going to be a special tournament, and players are taking notice.
Tournaments: Today continues the month's last multi, as the holiday weekend action continues for the $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD). The event runs through Monday (May 28th), with a pair of flights on the schedule for each of the next two days (an 11:00am and 6:00pm). The tournament is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (30) minutes. Registration for the opening flights is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows). Each (afternoon) starting flight is scheduled to conclude after Level 16, which falls somewhere around 7:30pm, or if the 10% mark is reached (players remaining in the field). The chip lead bonus is back, as the top stack from each opening flight will earn a seat into next week's $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante ($50,000 GTD).
There is also a satellite for the $200 NLH ($100,000 GTD) on the schedule (each of the next three days), with the action getting underway at 2:00pm. Today's $50 NLH Satellite has (5) seats guaranteed, and is structured with 8,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (15) minutes. Registration for each of the satellites is open through Level 8, with players having until approximately 4:30pm 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 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).
