Saturday, November 16th: $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) Attracts Impressive Numbers Friday, With Today's Action Expected To Crush!!!!

ICYMI: With the weekend arrived, we expected big numbers for the $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)...but what we saw yesterday exceeded any expectations.  Flight 1E, which began at 11:00am, became the first flight to eclipse the century mark (as registration closed with exactly 100 entries).  From those entries, a total of (15) players bagged chips for Day 2, led by Michael Fryett.  Fryett packed away 644,500, setting an overall chip lead that may be unattainable for players in today's fields.  A full list of official chip counts from Flight 1E are listed below:

Michael Fryett - 644,500
Blaine McRae - 431,000
David MacDonald - 312,500

Flight 1F, which got underway at 6:00pm, attracted the largest field of the six to have been completed.  Registration for the flight closed with (133) entries, of which (25) players bagged chips for Day 2.  Lisa Teebagy bagged the Flight 1F chip lead (370,000), with the official chip counts from the flight listed below:

The $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) now has a total of (499) entries, of which (94) players have bagged chips for Day 2.  The current prize pool sits at $79,840, and should eclipse the posted guarantee during this afternoon's Flight 1G action.

Tournaments: For those interested in trying to join the (94) players already scheduled to return tomorrow afternoon (Day 2), today hosts the final pair of starting flights for the $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD).  Just like the past three days, there is a flight at 11:00am (Flight 1G), followed by a 6:00pm flight (Flight 1H).  Structure stays the same for both, as players sit down to starting stacks of 30,000 units, play (30) minute levels, and have registration that is open through Level 8.

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 "November 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.
