Tournaments:  The action begins this afternoon at 11:00am, with a $100 No Limit Hold'em event ($2,500 GTD), which is sure to attract a nice size field. The tournament is structured with 14,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (20) minutes.  Registration is open through Level 8, allowing players to join the action up until just before 2:00pm.

The second tournament of the day is a $60 No Limit Hold'em ($2,000 GTD) event, which begins at 6:00pm.  The tournament is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (20) minutes.  Player can join the action until just before 9:00pm, as registration closes once Level 9 begins.

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).
