The "Monster Stack" was followed by an $80 No Limit Hold'em event, which has been a Friday night staple for a while now.  Registration would close with (30) entries, and an official prize pool of $1,710.  Although three spots were scheduled to get paid, players agreed to a four-way deal, with Howard Conley earning first place money ($508).  The details of the deal are published below:

Tournaments: Saturday's tournament focus is on the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($30,000 GTD).  The one-day event is structured with 30,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (30) minutes.  Registration is open through Level 12, allowing players to enter the event up until the clock reaches 7:30pm, with a last minute buy-in sitting down to a ten big blind stack.

Those that don't want to buy directly into the $360 NLH event have one final satellite to try and win a seat, with a $90 No Limit Hold'em Satellite starting the day's action at 10:00am. 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).

The satellite is followed (at 6:00pm) by a $100 No Limit Hold'em event, which boasts a $5,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 14,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes over the course of the evening.  Registration is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), which falls around 9:00pm.

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).
