Tournaments: January tournament action wraps up in a big way, with the return of the $250 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante at 11:00am, along with it's $30,000 guarantee. This tournament was last run during the 2017 Isle Classic (December), and had (198) entries, along with an almost $40,000 prize pool. The structure is the same as the $2,500 event that was played last week, but with the numbers sized down for this price point. Players in the tournament sit down to starting stacks of 50,000 units, and will play levels that last (30) minutes over the course of the day. The ante will be posted by the big blind (for the table), making for quicker (and easier) game play.
The Single-Ante is followed by the same evening event as last night, an $80 No Limit Hold'em ($2,500 GTD). 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 evening.
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).
