An hour after the beginning of Event #4, Norman Chad kicked off Event #5, which was a $190 H.O.R.S.E. To no surprise, it was one of the most popular events of the day, as the field closed with (39) entries.

If there was a "headlining" event of the day, it was Event #6 of the Deepstack Charity Festival, as Phil Hellmuth hosted the $2,200 No Limit Hold'em "Beat The Brat" High Roller. The tournament would attract a field of (22) entries, and a prize pool of $44,000. Four players were scheduled to reach the money, and there would be no chopping this time around. The event played down to an outright winner, with Raminder Singh besting Ian O'Hara during heads-up play. Official results from the event are listed below:

Registration would close with (48) entries showing on the clock, and an official prize pool of $19,200. Six players were scheduled to reach the money, and once again, we would see an event played down to an outright winner.

Tournaments: It takes a pretty special tournament to hold the lone time slot on a Sunday, and Event #8 of the Deepstack Charity Festival is just the event. The $295 No Limit Hold'em "Howard Frank Memorial" is the "main event" of the series, and is expected to attract over (400) entries. The tournament is structured with 6,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 6. There are numerous add-on options for players, beginning with when they first sit down. Optional add-on before player's first hand are: 1,000 units for $15, 2,000 for $30, 3,000 for $45, or 6,000 for $60. Each player also has the option for a "single" add-on of 6,000, to be offered before the first hand, or at any point a player's stack is below 6,000 (it is a $100 add-on). There are also $40 add-ons available at the end of registration (for another 6,000).
Promotions: The high hand period runs 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. From 12:00am-3:00am, 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).
