Monday, October 15th: Monday's Action Headlined By Day 2 Of Event #3, As (188) Players Return, All Looking To Grab The $22,545 First Place Prize

ICYMI: Yesterday's final pair of Event #3 ($100 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD) helped make this tournament one of the most special to ever have been hosted at the Isle Poker Room.  As expected, the final pair of Event #3 flights attracted the largest numbers, totaling a combined (412) entries.  Flight 1M had (183) entries at registration's close (with 18 players bagging), with Marcin Plewinski bagging the chip lead (508,000), which put himself in the second overall spot (and eventually won him the chip lead bonus).  Flight 1N then followed with (229) entries, of which (25) players bagged chips, led by Joseph Duchman (320,500).

The final numbers for Event #3 saw a total of (1,825) entries, and an official prize pool of $136,875.  There will be (191) players returning for action this afternoon, of which (153) will reach the money, with all eyes on the $22,520 first place prize.  Action resumes at 12:00pm this afternoon, with live blogged coverage brining you all of the updates throughout the day.

Tournaments: The day's tournament schedule begins at 12:00pm, with (191) players returning for Day 2 of Event #3 ($100 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD).  As mentioned above, (153) players will be reaching the money, with the day scheduled to play down to a winner.  There is no change in structure, as levels will last (25) minutes long the rest of the tournament (and players returning to their respective chip counts).  

As Event #3 is playing out, there is a satellite for Event #6 at 3:00pm.  The $90 No Limit Hold'em Satellite Into Event #6 ($360 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD) guarantees three seats, and will surely attract a nice sized field.

Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  The high hands will then transition 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.  

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).

From 12:00am-3:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
