Thursday, October 17th: The Isle Open Main Event ($300,000 GTD) Is Here, With Day 1A Beginning At 12:00PM

ICYMI: The results from yesterday's pair of Event #6 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event) satellites, will be posted shortly after the poker room opens.  Followers of the blog can check back, and see all of the players that were awarded seats over the course of yesterday's action.

Tournaments: After two weeks of Isle Open action, the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event ($300,000 GTD) is upon us, with the tournament beginning at 12:00pm this afternoon.  The Main Event has three starting days, with Day 2 on Sunday, and Day 3 on Monday.  As mentioned, Day 1A gets underway at 12:00pm, and is structured with 40,000 unit starting stacks, (50) minute levels, and registration open until the beginning of Level 12.  Each starting day is scheduled to conclude after Level 10, meaning players can enter the tournament for two full levels on Day 2.  On Day 2, the level length will transition to (60) minutes.

For those looking to enter the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event, but for a fraction of the price, there are two satellites on today's schedule.  There is a $340 No Limit Hold'em Turbo Satellite at 10:00am (which guarantees one seat), and a $340 No Limit Hold'em Satellite at 6:00pm (which guarantees one seat as well).

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.
