While Flight 1C was winding down, players were arriving for the start of Flight 1D, which ended up being the largest to this point. After eight levels of open registration, the flight closed with (132) total entries, and ended up with (14) players bagging chips. The stack sizes was noticeably larger from Flight 1D, with Joseph Marchese bagging the chip lead (391,000). Stephen Briston (363,000) and Luke Rosenberg (276,000) rounded out the top three, and will currently be heading to Day 2 with top six stacks.
The numbers from yesterday bring the combined totals to (349) entries, of which (44) players have already booked tickets to tomorrow's Day 2. The current prize pool sits at $46,068, which is still less than half the way to the $100,000 posted guarantee, with just two flights remaining. Today's pair of flights must average (155) entries each to meet the guarantee, so it is time to sound the "overlay alarm," as we keep a close eye on the numbers.
Tournaments: As mentioned above, today's schedule hosts the final pair of starting flights for this week's first multi. The $200 No Limit Hold'em event has a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool, with four flights (remaining) over the next two days. The tournament is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (30) minutes over the event's entirety. Players have until the end of Level 8 (and the break that follows) to join the action, with the day scheduled to end at the conclusion of Level 16 (or if the 10% mark is reached). Those players that successfully bag chips at the end of each flight, will be returning on Wednesday (12:00pm), ready to play down to a winner.
Promotions: Tuesday's promotions start with the every-popular Full House Early Bird, with the first (25) full houses awarded up to $60. The amount won depends on which game is being played, as 2/2 Limit Hold'em players earn $20 (for each full house while eligible), 2/4 Limit Hold'em players earning $40 (for each full house while eligible), and $60 for those playing: 1/2 No Limit Hold'em, 2/5 No Limit Hold'em, 5/10 No Limit Hold'em, 3/6 Limit Hold'em, and 8/16 O.E.
The standard high hands begin at 10:00am (because off the full house promotion), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes. During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible 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).
