ICYMI: Tuesday's tournament schedule began at 11:00am, with the popular $120 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo event, which carried a $2,000 guarantee.  Reaching that posted number would be no problem, as registration for the tournament closed with (26) total entries (and an official prize pool of $2,522).  As it does more often that not, the tournament ended in a chop, with the official results listed below:

The evening time slot (6:00pm) hosted the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster," which had a $3,000 guaranteed prize pool.  A total of (47) entries were in the field at registration's close, equating to an official prize pool of $4,559.  Six players were scheduled to reach the money, and after one in-the-money elimination, a five-way deal was agreed to.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

Tournaments: Today's tournament schedule begins with a "new" event in the 11:00am time slot...a $60 No Limit Hold'em "Bounty" tournament ($10 bounties).  The tournament is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 10.

In the evening time slot (6:00pm), we see the return of the $125 No Limit Hold'em "Green Chip Bounty" event.  The tournament is structured with 18,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and has registration open through Level 8.

Promotions: The doors open at 9:00am, with three hours of "Turbo High Hands," as $100 will be awarded every (10) minutes (rollovers apply).  The promotion runs from 9:00am-12:00pm, and has quickly become popular with the players (as the rollovers have seen some high hands reach the $1,000 mark!!!).

The standard high hand promotion then takes over, and runs from 12:00pm-12:00am.  Qualifying high hands will be awarded $300, given away every (30) minutes (no rollovers).  During that period, if the winning high hand is made using one card, a $150 prize will be awarded.  For those players playing in a tournament, winning high hands will be paid out $100.

From 12:00am-3:00am, $50 high hands will be awarded every (30) minutes.
