Tournaments: Today's tournament schedule begins at 10:00am, with a $100 No Limit Hold'em event. The tournament is structured with 15,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (20) minutes. Registration is open through Level 8 (and the ten minute break that follows), allowing for players to join the action up until (approximately) 1:50pm.
The headlining event of the day is in the 6:00pm time slot, and is a $150 No Limit Hold'em event with a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool. The player-friendly structure has starting stacks of 16,000 units, and levels that last (20) minute over the course of the night. Registration for the event is open through Level 8, giving ample opportunity for players to join the action.
Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes. The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-6:00pm, 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.
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).
