Thursday, December 5th: The $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) Begins Today, With First Pair Of Starting Flights

Tournaments: When the December tournament calendar was released, the first event that drew everyone's attention, was the $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD).  The event begins today, as we see the first pair of starting flights, of eight total.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 30,000 units, (30) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  There is an 11:00am and 6:00pm flight (Thursday through Sunday), with those players that bag, returning for play on Monday (12:00pm):

Promotions: With the calendar changing over to December, there are some changes in promotions to take note of.  Every day, from 9:00am through 12:00pm, the high hands will be $100 every (10) minutes.  The "turbo" high hands will have rollovers, meaning we will see some healthy payouts over the course of the three hour period.  Qualifying high hands can be made using one or two cards, and will receive the same $100 payout (or whatever the rollover amount is for the period).  

The "standard" high hands will be awarding $300 every (30) minutes (from 12:00pm-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.
