Friday, November 30th: After A Successful Opening Day To The Isle Poker Classic, Event #1 Continues In The Weekend

ICYMI: Yesterday hosted the first pair of opening flights for Event #1 of the Isle Poker Classic, with things getting off to a very strong start.  There were a combined total of (185) entries of the course of the day, with (88) entries in Flight 1A, and (97) in Flight 1B.  The prize pool from the pair of flights is at $29,230, which is well ahead of the pace to reach the $100,000 guarantee.  Official chip counts from each of the flights will be posted shortly after the poker opens this morning (9:00am).

Tournaments: Event #1 of the 2018 Isle Poker Classic continues today, with two more opening flights, and a $55 No Limit Hold'em Satellite.  The two flights (Flight 1C at 11:00am, and Flight 1D at 6:00pm) are structured with 30,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (30) minutes.  Registration is open through Level 8, with each of the flights schedule to conclude after Level 16, or until the 10% mark is reached (whichever occurs first).  

In between the two flights (at 2:00pm) is a $55 No Limit Hold'em Satellite, offering the opportunity for players to join the Event #1 action, for a fraction of the price.  The satellite is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration open through Level 8.  Players that earn a seat into Event #1, can choose one of the remaining five flights to play.

Promotions: The high hands will run from 9:00am-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-9:00am (Friday into Saturday), the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
