Flight 1E saw registration close with (155) entries, which was exactly on the pace needed to help reach the tournament's guarantee. A total of (16) players would reach the bagging process, led by Moses Morales, who ended up packing away the chip (491,000). That number ended up being the largest overall Day 2 stack, for the player with just one recorded result on his resume (which came just two months ago). Gilbert Sanchez (335,500) and Dennis Primeau (282,000) rounded out the top three counts from the flight, with the full list of Flight 1E chip counts found by clicking here.
Flight 1F ended up being the largest of the six flights that were played, as registration for the evening flight closed with (180) entries. From that number, (24) players would bag chips for Day 2, led by Adam Hamby (330,000). Tal Maduel (313,000) and Cody Ferguson (298,500) rounded out the top three stacks, with the official counts from the flight found by clicking here.
The official numbers from the tournament saw a total of (684) entries, which equated to a prize pool of $103,968. There will be (84) players returning this afternoon (12:00pm) for Day, with (62) of them reaching the money. A min-cash will see a return of $370, but all eyes are surely on the $20,443 first place prize.
Live blogged coverage will pick up the moment the first hand is dealt, and will continue through the event's conclusion.
Tournaments: As mentioned above, the day's schedule begins at 12:00pm, as (84) players return for Day 2 of the $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD). The structure continues with (30) minute levels throughout the day, as players start the day with whatever their Day 2 chip count was.
At 6:00pm, there is a $90 No Limit Hold'em Satellite into this weekend's $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD), which begins tomorrow (and runs through Sunday). The satellite is structured with 8,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (20) minutes. A total of 1 in 5 players will earn a seat into the $360 buy-in event, with (5) seats guaranteed. Players that do win a seat, can choose one of the three starting flights to enter (Thursday, Friday, or Saturday).
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).
