Saturday, June 23rd: Final Flight For $360 NLH ($50,000 GTD)...$1,500 High Hands...It's A Headlining Saturday

ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament schedule hosted two satellites for the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD), and the second starting flight for the event (Flight 1B).  In a very surprising occurrence, the flight ended up with the same exact numbers as Thursday's Flight 1A.  Registration closed with (41) entries in the field, of which (5) players bagged chip for tomorrow's Day 2.  Joseph Marchese bagged the flight's chip lead, packing away 295,500, which is also the overall leading number.  Official Flight 1B chip counts are posted below:

Joseph Marchese - 295,500
Richard Leger - 240,000 
Jason Prest - 162,400
Sal Accardi - 95,200
Roger Ramos - 30,300

The total numbers for the flight now see a total of (82) entries in the field, of which (10) players are scheduled to return for tomorrow's Day 2.  The currently prize pool sits at $24,600, which is still over half the way to the posted guarantee ($50,000).  Today's Flight 1C needs at least (84) entries to make the number, which should be very attainable on this final day.

Tournaments: As mentioned above, today's tournament schedule hosts the final flight of the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD), which gets underway at 2:00pm.  Flight 1C is structured with starting stacks of 20,000 units, and levels that last (30) minutes.  Those levels will transition tomorrow, as Day 2 (Level 17+) will offer up (40) minute levels. Registration is open through Level 10, allowing over 5.5 hours for players to join the action.

The final satellite ($90 No Limit Hold'em) for the tournament is also on the schedule, and begins at 10:00am.  Players in the event sit down to starting stacks of 8,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes.  Registration is open through Level 8, and the break that follows, with (5) seats into the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) guaranteed.  

There is also a recurring tournament this evening, as cards will get in the air for the $150 No Limit Hold'em "Deepstack" at 6:00pm.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 20,000 units, and levels that last (25) minutes.  Registration is open through Level 10, offering a little extra time for players to join the action, or get in for a second...or third time.

Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  Then, starting at 10:00am, is one of the newest (and richest) promotions to hit the poker room:
