ICYMI: Since there were no tournaments on the schedule yesterday (December 31st), there are no recaps or results to publish. Therefore, we would like to take this moment to wish everyone related to the Isle Poker Room at happy and healthy new year!!! There are so many incredible announcements to come, and we look forward to not only making the followers of the blog the first people to know, but also can't wait to bring a years worth of tournament coverage and recaps.
Tournaments: The first tournament of the year begins at 11:00am, and is the $120 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty," which carries a $3,000 guaranteed prize pool. The event is structured with starting stacks of 18,000 units, and levels that last (15) minutes. There is an optional add-on at the end of registration (after Level 10), which sees players getting a return of 10,000 units for $25. There is also a $25 bounty for each player eliminated, with said bounties included in the prize pool.
A $80 No Limit Hold'em event is in the 6:00pm time slot this evening, structured with starting stacks of 12,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes over the course of the tournament.
Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes. The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am (midnight), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes. During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible (Isle Open events not eligible for high hand) 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. From 12:00am-9:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.
It should also be noted that started back on November 1st, 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).
