Tournaments: The Card Player Poker Tour Warmup continues this afternoon, with a $90 No Limit Hold'em Satellite Into Event #1 ($360 NLH $200,000 GTD), getting underway at 11:00am. The satellite guarantees five seats into the series opening event, and is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, with levels that last (20) minutes. The registration period for the tournament is open through Level 8, allowing almost three hours for players to join the action.
The evening tournament is the month's first "headlining" single-day event, with the $175 No Limit Hold'em ($25,000 GTD) getting underway at 6:00pm. The tournament attracted some incredible numbers last month, and should likely do the same tonight. Players in the event will be sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, with levels in the event lasting (20) minutes over the course of the evening. Registration is open through Level 10, allowing a little extra time than would normally be, in an evening event such as this.
Promotions: Tuesday's promotions start with the every-popular Full House Early Bird, with the first (25) full houses awarded up to $60. The amount won depends on which game is being played, as 2/2 Limit Hold'em players earn $20 (for each full house while eligible), 2/4 Limit Hold'em players earning $40 (for each full house while eligible), and $60 for those playing: 1/2 No Limit Hold'em, 2/5 No Limit Hold'em, 5/10 No Limit Hold'em, 3/6 Limit Hold'em, and 8/16 O.E.
The standard high hands begin at 10:00am (because off the full house promotion), 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.
