Friday, August 3rd: Headlines Stay The Same To Start The Weekend, It's All About "CPPT Warmup" $1,000 High Hands (6:00PM-12:00AM)

ICYMI: The "CPPT Warmup" $100 No Limit Hold'em ($30,000 GTD) continued yesterday, with two more starting flights, that saw numbers grow from the day before.  Between Flight 1C (11:00am) and Flight 1D (6:00pm), there were a total of (103) entries, from which (11) players would bag chips for Day 2 on Sunday (12:00pm).  A full list of the counts from Thursday's action are listed below:

Ken Berman - 314,000
Dennis Preimeau - 234,500
David Day - 183,500
Paul Price - 177,000
Joe Pozos - 168,000

Steven Frantz - 65,000
Rebecca Dollagloria - 64,000
Rick Kalgstein - 61,000
Sandy Sanchez - 57,000
Adel Jo - 25,000

The combined numbers from the first four flights of the event now total (199) entries, of which (22) players have bagged for Day 2.  The prize pool has grown to $14,328, and with the largest of the flights expected over the next (48) hours, we should see the $30,000 guarantee easily eclipsed.

Tournaments: The month's first multi continues this afternoon, with Flight 1E at 11:00am, followed by Flight 1F at 6:00pm.  The $100 No Limit Hold'em ($30,000 GTD) is a "Card Player Poker Tour Warmup," with the prestigious series coming to the Isle Casino Poker Room from August 16th-27th, 2018 (highlighted by an $1,100 No Limit Hold'em Main Event).

The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 14,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes over the course of the event.  The registration period for each flight is open through Level 8, with the day scheduled to end after Level 20 (or if 10% of the field remains, whichever comes first).  The tournament uses the big blind ante format, which was utilized for numerous events during the FSPC.  

Promotions: The standard high hands begin at 10:00am, with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes. During that period , the promotion sees tournament players eligible 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.  


At 6:00pm-1:00am, the promotion transitions, and offers the opportunity for players to earn $1,000 every (30) minutes.  During that time period, high hands will be awarded as follows:

NLH: 2 Cards ($1,000) 1 Card ($500)
3/6 Limit Hold'em (And Higher): 2 Cards ($500) 1 Card ($250)
2/2 & 2/4 Limit Hold'em: 2 Cards ($500) 1 Card ($250)
Tournament: 2 Cards ($500) 1 Card ($250)

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).
