Saturday, November 17th: Two Sizable Overlays Mean Incredible Value In Today's Tournaments At The Isle Poker Room

ICYMI: Yesterday was the third of four opening flights for the $100 No Limit Hold'em ($25,000 GTD) "Early Bird," with some big numbers needed today.  Flight 1C saw registration close with (33) entries, of which (4) players bagged chips for tomorrow's Day 2.  The combined totals for the tournament not sit at (88) entries, with (10) players heading to Day 2.  The current prize pool sits at $6,600, which is still $18,400 short of the posted guarantee.  Today's final flight (Flight 1D) needs a total of (246) entries to reach the guarantee, with a sizable overlay very much a reality.  There is no better time than today to join the action, and grab the incredible value that looks to be up for grabs.  Listed below, are players who bagged chips from Flight 1C:

Francois Gagne - 211,500
Dane Kelly - 191,500
William Reich - 148,500
Daniel Genachte - 108,000

At 6:00pm, Flight 1C of the $100 No Limit Hold'em ($25,000 GTD) "Night Owl" got underway, and attracted the largest field to date.  Registration for Flight 1C closed with (74) entries, of which (8) players bagged chips for Day 2. The current totals for the "Night Owl" sit at (150) entries, with (16) players scheduled to return to tomorrow's Day 2.  The current prize pool sits at $11,250, which is $13,750 short of the guarantee, meaning we have the potential for yet another sizable overlay.  Listed below, are the players to have bagged chips from Flight 1C of the "Night Owl"

Walter Westr - 522,500
Cinda Goodale - 210,500
Roman Ojeda - 194,000
Fabrice Mace - 193,500
Edgard Mendes - 115,000
Randall Buttner - 94,000
Stephen Thomas - 78,000
David Brainard - 74,000

Tournaments: There is no secret anymore, both of these multi-flight events are going to have a sizable overlay, and there is no better time than now to grab a piece of the value.  The final flights of the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Early Bird," and $100 No Limit Hold'em "Night Owl"  are on today's schedule.  Flight 1D of the "Early Bird" begins at 11:00am, and is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (20) minutes.  Registration is open through Level 8, with play scheduled to conclude at the end of Level 18 (or if the 10% mark is reached before that point).

The $100 No Limit Hold'em ($25,000 GTD) "Night Owl" sees it's final flight (Flight 1D) get underway at 6:00pm, and holds the same structure as the "Early Bird" listed above.

Promotions: The high hands will run from 9:00am-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-9:00am (Saturday into Sunday), the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
