Tournaments: Sunday's tournament schedule sees the return of the $125 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack," which boasts a $3,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The event, which has always been a player favorite, is structured with 25,000 unit starting stacks (and levels that last 20 minutes).  Registration is open through Level 8, and the ten minute break that follows (closing once the first hand is dealt in Level 9).

The evening time slot hosts a "Sunday staple," with the action for the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) getting underway at 6:00pm.  The tournament is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (15) minutes.  Because of the turbo levels, registration is open through the first (10) levels (and the break that follows).

Promotions: The high hand period runs from 10:00am-12:00am, 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.  From 12:00am-3:00am, 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).
