The evening time slot sees the second of five starting flights for the "Night Owl," a $175 No Limit Hold'em multi, that boasts a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool.  Each of the flights has a 6:00pm starting time (hence the "Night Owl" moniker), and is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, along with (20) minute levels.  Registration is open through the first eight levels, with play scheduled to end after Level 18 (or when the 10% mark is reached).  Players that successfully bag chips will be returning on Monday (August 13th) for Day 2 (6:00pm).
