Tournaments: We've now reached the final day of the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster" ($75,000 GTD), and it's clear this tournament has been a great success. The event has eight starting flights, of which the final pair play out over the next (24) hours, with players then returning for Day 2 on Monday (May 20th). Each of the opening flights is structured with 50,000 unit starting stacks (hence the "Chip Buster" name), has levels of (30) minutes, and registration that is open through Level 16. Action is scheduled to wrap up at the conclusion of Level 16, or if the 10% mark is reached...whichever comes first. Each of the next four days will see a flight begin at 11:00am (today that is Flight 1C), a flight begin at 6:00pm (Flight 1D), and a $40 No Limit Hold'em Satellite at 3:00pm.
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, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
It should be noted, that from 9:00am-2:00pm, there will be $250 high hands awarded every (15) minutes. The winning high hands that are made using two cards will be awarded the full $250 prize, while those using one card will be awarded $125.
