Day 1D reached the bagging process with (74) total entries, of which (20) players bagged chips for today's Day 2.  Jeff Trudeau (Orlando, FL) bagged the Day 1D chip lead with 288,000, which also happens to be the overall chip heading to Day 2.  Official chip counts from Day 1D are listed below:

After four starting days, Event #7 heads to Day 2 with (236) entries, of which (60) will be returning at 12:00pm.  The prize pool grew to $231,280, but all of those numbers are subject to change, as registration is open until the first hand of Day 2 is dealt (at approximately 12:00pm).  Once registration is closed, the official numbers from the event will be listed, along with the tournament's prize pool.

Tournaments: Today is the final day of the 2018 Isle Poker Classic, with the schedule beginning at 12:00pm, as players return for Day 2 of the Isle Poker Classic $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Main Event ($200,000 GTD).  Those players buying in today will sit down to the 30,000 unit starting stacks, but get some longer levels, as they transition to (50) minutes for the rest of the event.

At 2:00pm, the Event #9 of the series wraps up the Isle Poker Classic.  The tournament is a $360 No Limit Hold'em "Black Chip Bounty," structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and (30) minute levels.  Registration for the tournament is open through Level 8, and the (10) minute break that follows.

We return to the recurring schedule at 6:00pm, with the $90 No Limit Hold'em ($1,500 GTD).  The tournament is structured with 15,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows).  There is an optional add-on at the beginning of each player's tournament, with the ability to increase their stack by 5,000 (for just $10).  The add-on is only available prior to the player's first hand dealt.

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