Sunday, July 22nd: With A Prize Pool Expected To Reach $350,000, Sunday Is All About Event #9 Final Chances

ICYMI: Yesterday was all about the third of four starting flights for Event #9, as Flight 1C ended up attracted the largest field to this point in the tournament.  When the bagging process started, the tournament clock would show (103) entries, with (23) players successfully packing away chips for tomorrow's (Monday) Day 2.  Propelled by a big win in a three-way all-in during Level 9, Evan Teitelbaum (Parkland, FL) would earn himself a Florida State Poker Championship Main Event seat, after bagging the Flight 1C chip lead (457,500).  That number was almost 200,000 more than his nearest competitor, with Mark Shulla bagging 271,500.  Former reality show star Albert Destrade rounded out the top three, packing away 265,000 for tomorrow's action.  

The official number after three flights now see a total of (228) entries for Event #9, with (49) players heading to tomorrow's Day 2.  The tournament's guarantee was surpassed yesterday, as the official prize pool sits at $224,580.  With today's flight expected to be the largest of the four, we are looking at an official prize pool that could potentially reach $350,000.  

ICYMI: With that being said, today's overall schedule should be a very busy one, with two satellites in addition to the final starting flight of Event #9.  The action gets underway at 10:00am, with a $130 No Limit Hold'em Satellite Into Event #9, a 1 in 10 entries will be awarded a seat.  The satellite is structured with 10,000 units, and levels that last (15) minutes, making this a "turbo" format event.  Registration is open through Level 10, allowing players just over three hours to join the action.

As that satellite sees registration wind down, the final flight of Event #9 will begin, with cards in the air for Flight 1D at 1:00pm.  While the time is different than the three that came before it, Flight 1D does have the same structure.  Players will be sitting down to starting stacks of 30,000 units, and playing levels that last (40) minutes (Levels 1-13).  Registration is open throughout the entire day of play, including before the first hand is dealt on Day 2.

The final Event #9 satellite gets underway at 6:00pm, and is of the $250 price point (1 in 5 entries will be awarded an Event #9 seat).  The satellite is structured with starting stacks of 12,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes.  Registration is open through Level 8, and will stay open through the ten minute break that follows.  

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).
