At 2:00pm, we see the second of four $90 No Limit Hold'em Satellites into this Saturday's $360 No Limit Hold'em ($30,000 GTD). The satellite guarantees two seats into the event, and is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, with (20) minute levels. Registration for the satellite is open through Level 8 (around 5:00pm).
No limit returns at 6:00pm, with a $150 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty." This tournament was phased from the schedule years back, but is now making it's triumphant return. Players in the event will be sitting down to starting stacks of 16,000 units, and playing levels that last (20) minutes. There is a $50 bounty for every player elimination, just adding to the potential return for deep runs.
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 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).
