Tournaments: Today's schedule sees the final pair of starting flights for the $200 NLH ($100,000 GTD), along with the last satellite for the event. The flights are 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).
The final satellite gets underway at 2:00pm. Today's $50 NLH Satellite has (3) 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.
