Tournaments: The mixed-game crowd returns this afternoon, as the $130 Limit Omaha 8B Hi/Lo ($2,000 GTD) begins at 11:00am. This event attracts a very nice crowd each time it runs, as players enjoy not only the variation from hold'em, but the solid structure. Players in the tournament sit down to starting stacks of 12,000 units, and play levels that last (20) minutes over the course of the afternoon.
The evening time slot sees the return of the "survivor" to the recurring tournament schedule, but this time, it's very much a good value. The tournament has a $100 buy-in, and guarantees that five players will walk away with ten times that amount ($1,000). Structure wise, the event has starting stacks of 15,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes. There are a lot of reasons that players would want $1,000 at this time, so don't be surprised by a nice showing.
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).
