Tournaments: Today's schedule host the second pair of opening flights for Event #16 ($360 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD). The final multi-day tournament of the series has a total of four flights, all with the following structure: players will be sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, and playing levels that last (30) minutes in length. Each of the opening flights is scheduled to play through Level 15, with registration open until the break after Level 12. The chip lead bonus does return, as the top three chip stacks (after all flights are played), will earn a seat into Thursday's Event #18 ($2,500 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante $100,000).
Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.
