Tournaments: With the 2019 Isle Open Main Event beginning tomorrow, today is "satellite day," with two $340 No Limit Hold'em Mega-Satellites on the schedule.  The first mega begins at 11:00am, and guarantees (10) seats into the Main Event.  Of all the satellites that are run during the series, this is by far the most popular, and should end up awarding more seats than the guarantee.  

The evening mega, which begins at 6:00pm, guarantees (3) seats into the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event.  While the guaranteed seats may be lower in the evening, that does not mean the field size will be.  Players are very interested in entering the Isle Open Main Event, and these satellites are some of the best value around!!!!

Promotions: The "standard" high hands will be awarding $300 every (30) minutes (from 9:00am-6:00pm).  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.

At 6:00pm, the high hands get a little "October boost," as they transition to $500 every (30) minutes.  Players that make the high hand with one card during that period, will be awarded a $250 prize.

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