Tournaments: Wednesday's tournament schedule sees the return of the "survivor" format to the schedule, with a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor" ($3,000 GTD) at 11:00am.  The tournament offers a great return on investment, as 1 in 10 entries will earn $1,000 (there are three $1,000 winners guaranteed).  The tournament is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

The evening time slot sees the return of the $150 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty," an event that had been a staple on the schedule.  The tournament is structured with 18,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

Promotions: Outside of the "standard" high hands, the poker room opens with the "new" Full House Promotion.  The proceedings begin once the doors of the poker room open, with the first (25) full houses made, earning a $40 prize.  Each jackpot eligible cash game is included in the promotion, with two rules to keep in mind, when thinking about winning the $40.  In order to be eligible, the full  house must be made using two cards, and must be the winning hand.

 The day's "standard" high hand period will last 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-3:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
