Tournaments: The day's tournament schedule begins at 12:00pm, with players returning for Day 2 of Event #3 ($130 No Limit Hold'em $50,000 GTD).  There are no structural changes to speak, so the tournament will resume in Level 17, and  (is scheduled to) play down to a winner.

At 3:00pm, players have an opportunity to satellite into one of the more prestigious events of the Isle Open, with a $510 No Limit Hold'em (rake-free) Satellite into Event #4 ($2,500 No Limit Hold'em).  This same tournament has attracted some of the best names in poker during it's illustrious history, and should do the same on Tuesday (October 15th).  There is a (1) seat guarantee for the satellite, but players can expect to see more than that awarded (from recent history).

On Wednesday (October 16th), there is a $340 No Limit Hold'em Mega Satellite Into the Isle Open $1,500 Main Event (guaranteeing 10 seats into the tournament).  For those looking to get into that mega-satellite for a fraction of the price, there is a $90 No Limit Hold'em Step-Satellite at 6:00pm this evening.  The step-satellite has a (3) seat guarantee attached to it.

Promotions:  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-3:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
