The official numbers heading into the event's final flight now see a total of (169) entries, of which (16) players have bagged chips for tomorrow's Day 2. The current prize pool sits at $50,700, with (165) player needed in Flight 1F to make the tournament's guaranteed number.
Just as the satellite is winding down, the final flight of the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) will be getting underway (2:00pm). Flight 1F carries the same structure as those that have already been completed, with 20,000 unit starting stacks, levels that last (30) minutes, and registration that is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows). With the word of an overlay spreading, this is surely going to be the busiest of all flights, and it's alway suggested that player arrive early to grab those seats!!!
The "recurring" tournament schedule returns in the evening time slot (6:00pm), with the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo Bounty." The "Sunday staple" event is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (15) minutes. Registration is open through Level 10, with each player elimination worth a bounty of $25.
Promotions: There is a "special" promotion this morning, coinciding with the "New Early Bird Full House Promotion." The day starts at 9:00am, with the first (25) full houses earning $40 (only in limit hold'em games). The rules are posted in the poker room, but there must be $10 in the pot, the player must use both of his/her hole cards, and the full house (or better) must be the winning hand.
IN ADDITION to the promotion, for the no limit hold'em players (starting at 9:00am), the first (20) full houses made (aces-full or better, using one or two cards), will earn a seat into today's Flight 1F of the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD). It's that easy, show up at 9:00am...make a full house that's aces-full or better...and you're in this afternoon's final flight!
The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am, 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.
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).
From 12:00am-3:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
