Wednesday, October 10th: Early Bird Full House, And The Continuation Of Isle Open Event #3

ICYMI: Event #3 ($100 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD) of the 2018 Isle Open took center stage yesterday, with the seconds pair of opening flights (Flight 1C and Flight 1D).  Flight 1C attracted (95) entries, followed by (125) entries in Flight 1D, for a combined total of (220) for the day.  Of the (24) players to have bagged chips from the flights, one player did eclipse the "chip lead bonus" number, as Lashone Dobard (279,500) sits behind Raul Hernandez.  The two are currently in line to walk away with a $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Isle Open Main Event seat.

Tournaments: The 2018 Isle Open continues today, with Event #3, which is a $100 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD).  The tournament has a total of (14) flights, with a pair each day this week (Monday through Sunday).  Those players that bag chips for the event, will then return on Monday (12:00pm) for Day 2.  The event is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (25) minutes.  Registration for each flight is open through Level 8, and the ten minute break that follows.  Today's flights begin at 11:00am (Flight 1E) and 6:00pm (Flight 1F), with a satellite sandwiched between. 

The $30 No Limit Hold'em Satellite Into Event #3 guarantees (10) seats, and begins at 2:00pm.  Details for the satellite's structure can be found by the tournament area, or by calling the poker room.

Promotions: The day begins with the "New Early Bird" Full House Promotion, which started August 27th, and runs every Monday.  Opposed to the full house promotion that includes all games, this particular promotion is for the limit hold'em players.  Starting at 9:00am, the first (25) full houses (in a limit game), will be awarded $40 each. 

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.
