Thursday, August 16th: The Card Player Poker Tour Arrives At The Isle Casino Pompano Park, Event #1 Begins At 2:00PM (Flight 1A)

ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament schedule was all about satellites into particular events in the Card Player Poker Tour series.  The 11:00am and 6:00pm time slots both hosted $90 No Limit Hold'em Satellites Into Event #1, while a $170 No Limit Hold'em Package Satellite (Into Event #1 and Event #8) ran at 2:00pm.  Official results from the three satellite will be posted shortly after the poker room opens.

Tournaments: And with no further adieu...the Card Player Poker Tour series is upon on.  While the schedule doesn't "officially" start until 2:00pm, there is a $90 No Limit Hold'em Satellite Into Event #1 at 10:00am.  The satellite is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and has a (5) seat guarantee (registration is open through Level 8). 

At 2:00pm, Event #1 gets undenay, with the cards flying for the first of six starting flights for the tournament (Flight 1A).  The event is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (30) minutes on Day 1 (transitioning to 40 minutes on Day 2).  Registration for each starting flight is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), with play scheduled to conclude when the field reaches the 5% mark.  Day 1 payouts return, which was a wrinkle that we saw during the last major series (Florida State Poker Championship), as 12.5% make the money.  Players that bag chips in any of the opening flights will return on Monday for Day 2 (12:00pm).  Lets not forget about the "chip lead bonus," as the largest stack from each flight will earn entry into CPPT Event #8, which is the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Main Event ($250,000 GTD).

At 6:00pm, players will have yet another opportunity to satellite into Event #1, with a $90 No Limit Hold'em Satellite, which boasts a (5) seat guarantee.  The satellite's structure is the same as the 10:00am installment ran earlier in the day.

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).
