Sunday, December 2nd: Event #1 Surpasses The $100,000 Guarantee, With Still Two Flights To Be Played!!!

ICYMI: Saturday saw the continuation of Event #1, and was a milestone day for the tournament, as the $100,000 guarantee was surpassed during the evening flight (Flight 1F).  In total, there were a combined (252) entries over the course of the day, split 145 (Flight 1E) and 107 (Flight 1F) respectively.  After registration closed in Flight 1F, the tournament clock would show an overall prize pool of $104,438, with the final pair of flights yet to be played.  

Of the (17) players to bag chips from the afternoon flight (Flight 1E), Chad Whitman would reach the process with the largest stack (597,000).  Not only was it the biggest stack from Flight 1E, but after six completed flights, it's the top stack heading to Day 2.  Some other notables to bag from Flight 1E included Joshua Beckley (548,000), Allan Bieler (500,000), and Devond Marshall (310,000).

A total of (16) players reached the bagging process in Flight 1F, none of which were able to eclipse the 300,000 mark (a number we did see from the first five flights).  Vito Polera bagged the Flight 1F chip lead (292,000), with a handful of players right behind him.  Carey Pickus (278,000), Claudionei Barbosa (275,000), Francklin Michel (265,000), and Alan Leon (240,000) all bagged with 50,000 of the flight's chip leader.

Event #1 of the Isle Poker Classic now has a total of (633) entries, and (as mentioned above) a prize pool of $104,438.  Today is the final opportunity for players to join the action, and considering the success of this tournament, it should be a busy final day.

Tournaments: Today is the final opportunity for players to join Event #1 of the Isle Classic ($200 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD), whether it be via one of the two scheduled flights, or the final satellite for the tournament. The two flights (Flight 1G at 11:00am, and Flight 1H 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.


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.
