Tournaments: Two "staple" tournaments of the recurring schedule highlight Thursday's schedule, beginning at 11:00am, with the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack." The player-friendly event is structured with 25,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8. This tournament has a history of attracted nice sized fields, with today's installment expected nothing less.
The "Monster Stack" is followed at 6:00pm, by a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Green Chip Bounty" event. It should be noted, that this tournament is not the "turbo bounty" that runs on Sunday's, as players get extended levels of (20) minutes (along with the 20,000 unit starting stacks). Registration is also open through Level 8, not the ten levels that the turbo allows.
