After two completed starting days, Event #7 now has a combined field of (104) entries, of which (26) players are scheduled to return for Day 2.  The overall prize pool sits at $101,920, and is on pace to eclipse the $200,000 posted guaranteed on the event.

Tournaments: Today's slate begins at 10:00am, with a $250 No Limit Hold'em Satellite into Event #7 ($1,100 No Limit Hold'em $200,000 GTD).  The satellite is structured with 15,000 units, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  For every five entries into the satellite, a seat will be awarded into the Isle Poker Classic Main Event.  

At 2:00pm, the third opening day of Event #7 gets underway (Day 1C).  The main event is structured with 30,000 unit starting stacks, (40) minute levels (on Day 1, transitioning to 50 on Day 2), and registration that is open through Level 12.  While each of the starting days are scheduled to end at Level 12, registration stays open through 12:00pm on Day 2, closing when the first hand is dealt on Monday.

At 6:00pm, there is another $250 No Limit Hold'em Satellite into Event #7, which mirrors the structure from the 10:00am satellite that runs before it.

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.
