The tournament's total numbers currently sit at (652) entries, of which (34) players are scheduled to return for tomorrow's Day 2 (12:00pm). The combined prize pool sits at $198,860, which is just over one-thousand dollars short of the posted guarantee. Today's final flight (Flight 1F) will help surpass that number the moments the cards get in the air, making this yet another super successful FSPC Event.
Tournaments: There are three tournaments on the schedule, making this another busy day for the 2018 Florida State Poker Championships. Things start early, with the final Event #4 satellite getting underway at 10:00am. The satellite is a $90 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo," guaranteeing three seats into Event #4. The satellite is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (15) minutes throughout. Because of the condensed level length, registration will be open through the satellite's first ten levels.
Then at 2:00pm, we have the final opening flight for Event #4 ($360 No Limit Hold'em $200,000 GTD). Players will be sitting down to 20,000 units, playing (30) minute levels up until Level 15, at which point things transition to (40) minutes. Registration is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), allowing over four hours to join the action. Once registration is closed, the 12.5% Day 1 payouts will be posted, and players will be informed how many will reach the bagging process.
The 2018 FSPC then moves along later in the evening, as Event #5 begins at 6:00pm. The tournament is a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo Bounty," with a $5,000 guaranteed prize pool. The tournament is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (15) minutes in length. Registration for the event is open through Level 10, because of the "turbo" moving levels.
Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes. The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-6:00pm, 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.
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).
