Saturday, February 2nd: Day 2 Of $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) Headlines, With $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000) Taking Second Billing

ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament schedule hosted three starting flights for the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD).  For the first time in a while, we saw an event that had just one day of flights, followed by a Day 2 the following afternoon...and the players seemed to love the format.  The posted guarantee was eclipsed early in the evening (as Flight 1C began), with the tournament officially attracting (182) entries, which equates to a prize pool of $55,510.  Of the combined entries from the three flights, (34) players bagged chips for today's Day 2, with action resuming at 1:00pm.  Posted below, are the top five chip counts heading into Day 2:

Scott	Levitt	205,000
Carlos	Rodriguez	183,000
Mark	Dube	180,000
Michael	Garavuso	174,500
Thomas	Millward	171,000

The official payouts for the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) will be released shortly, with updates on the action posted throughout the afternoon/evening.

Tournaments: Saturday's schedule gets started at 11:00am, with a $40 No Limit Hold'em Satellite into this afternoon's $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD).  The satellite is scheduled with 10,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  The satellite will run with a (5) seat guarantee.

As mentioned above, players will be returning at 1:00pm for Day 2 of the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD).  Action will resume with (34) players, posting blinds of 2,000/4,000/4,000 (in Level 14), and playing (30) minute levels for the rest of the tournament.

At 4:00pm, the action gets underway for the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD).  The tournament is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.
