Tournaments: The third weekend of May kicks off with the $120 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD), which boasts one of the best recurring tournament structures around. Players in the event sit down to starting stacks of 25,000 units, and play levels that last (20) minutes over the course of the afternoon. Registration for the event is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), which is approximately 3:00pm.
The "Monster Stack" is followed by an $80 No Limit Hold'em event, which carries a $5,000 guarantee. The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 12,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes. Registration is also open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), which allows players the opportunity to join up until approximately 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).
