Tournaments: The waiting is finally over, as the 2019 Battles At The Beach begins today!!!  Sunday's schedule hosts the opening pair of flights for Event #1, which is a $150 No Limit Hold'em event, with a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The tournament is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, (30) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  Action is scheduled to play through Level 16, or the 10% mark (of the final field entry number), whichever happens to be reached first.  Those players that are successful in bagging chips at the end of either Flight 1A or Flight 1B, will then return on Wednesday (at 12:00pm) for Day 2.

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).
