Sunday, April 29th: After Impressive Numbers, (48) Players Returning At 12:00PM For Day 2 Of $1,100 Single-Ante

ICYMI: Yesterday afternoon was the final flight (Flight 1C) of the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante ($200,000 GTD), with (73) entries still needed to reach the posted guarantee.  It wouldn't take long for that number to be attained, as Matthew Smith's entry in Level 3 helped the prize pool eclipse the $200,000 mark.  There were numerous notables names that waited until the third flight to try and find themselves a bag, including Robert Transue, Scott Levitt, Maurice Hawkins, Nigel Murray, and Uri Kadosh.  Interesting enough, those names just listed were all able to secure seats for Day 2, but none could match the Flight 1C bag of Jose Reyes (443,000).  Reyes, who was coming off two final tables during the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, continued his good form throughout the day.  

Jose's heads to Day 2 with the overall chip lead, and will be joining (47) other players, who are to arrive at 12:00pm (for the beginning of action).  After three flights for the event (and numerous satellites), the field officially closed with (242) entries, and a prize pool of $242,000.  The official prize pool has not yet been released, but players can look forward to a first place prize well over $50,000 (as an educated guess).  While there will not be detailed Day 2 coverage offered, live results will be posted to the blog as each pay jump each reached.  Players looking for Day 2 seating assignments can click here to find the listing.

Today's group of returning Day 2 players is full of notables, and accomplished tournament names, so it will be interested to see how things unfold (as today's action is scheduled to play down to a winner).

Tournaments: As mentioned above, today's tournament schedule begins at 12:00pm, as (48) players return for Day 2 of the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante ($200,000 GTD).  The only structural change to note is the length of the levels, which transition from (40) minutes during the opening flights, to (50) minutes throughout today's Day 2.  The tournament is scheduled to play down to a winner, with official results updated here on the blog.

The recurring tournament schedule returns this evening, with the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo Bounty," which carries at $3,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The event is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (15) minutes.  Registration is open through Level 10, allowing players until just before 9:00pm to join the action.  


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).
