Tournaments: Today is the return to the recurring tournament schedule, beginning at 11:00am, with a $100 No Limit Hold'em ($1,000 GTD) event.  The tournament is structured with 14,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

At 6:00pm, the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster" returns, with a $3,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The player-favorite event is structured with 50,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

Promotions: Things begin with the "Full House Promo," which will open the doors on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in October).  The proceedings begin once the doors of the poker room open, with the first (25) full houses made, earning a $50 prize.  Each jackpot eligible cash game is included in the promotion, with two rules to keep in mind, when thinking about winning the $50.  In order to be eligible, the full house must be made using two cards, and must be the winning hand.

The "standard" high hands will be awarding $300 every (30) minutes (from 9:00am-12:00am).  Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded to those that use one card to make the high hand.  For those players in tournaments, high hands are worth $100.

From 12:00am-9:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.

Monday, October 21st: Seven Players Return For Day 3 Of Isle Open Main Event, Sit-N-Gos Headlining Monday's Schedule

ICYMI: At 12:00pm yesterday afternoon, (52) players returned to the poker room, for Day 2 of the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Isle Open Main Event ($300,000 GTD).  The tournament came into the day with (158) entries, and was well short of the number needed to reach the posted guarantee.  Registration was still open for the first two levels of the day, with (34) entries joining the action during that period.  Once the registration window closed, there was a small overlay, with (24) players scheduled to earn a piece of the $300,000 prize pool.  The money bubble burst in the early evening, with action for the day concluding with seven players left at the final table.  Listed below, are the official results from Day 2, followed by the remaining players (along with Day 3 chip counts):

8. Omar Nassif (Davie, FL) $8,895

Tournaments: It's a notable day for two reason, the first of which gets underway at 1:00pm.  The remaining players from Event #6 of the Isle Open ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $300,000 GTD) return for Day 3, which begins at 1:00pm.  There are no structural changes to speak of, as play will resume with (60) minute levels, and action scheduled to reach a winner (unless a deal is agreed to before that point).

Beginning today, Mondays are going to be known for the return of "Sit-N-Gos," one of the most popular tournament formats.  From the moment the doors open, a list will start for the $150 buy-in sit-n-go, and will start once (10) players are on the list.  The single table tournament will pay three spots ($750 to first, $420 to second, and $200 to third).  The structure will be posted in the poker room, and here on the blog, once the poker room opens for the day.

Promotions: The promotional calendar for Monday is focused strictly on high hands, which run from the moment the poker room opens (9:00am), to the moment the doors shut (3:00am).  The period from 9:00am-12:00am (midnight), will see $300 high hands awarded, every (30) minutes (using both hole cards).  If the high hand is made using one card, $150 will be awarded to that player (pending the hand is the qualifying winner).  

From 12:00am-3:00am, a $100 high hand will be awarded every (60) minutes (top of the hour).
