Tournaments: Wednesday's tournament schedule is headlined by Event #6 of the 2019 Battles At The Beach ($1,100 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD). The "appetizer" to the main event will have two starting flights (one today, and one tomorrow), with Day 2 scheduled for Friday afternoon. Event #6 is structured with starting stacks of 30,000 units, levels that last (40) minutes each, and registration that is open through Level 12. It should be noted, that once the final table of this tournament is reached, the levels will transition to (60) minutes in length.
There are two satellites on today's schedule for Event #6, both with a $130 buy-in, the first of which begins at 10:00am (with the second satellite starting at 6:00pm). The satellites are structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.
Promotions: Outside of the "standard" high hands, the poker opens with the Full House Promotion. The proceedings begin once the doors of the poker room open, with the first (25) full houses made, earning a $40 prize. Each jackpot eligible cash game is included in the promotion, with two rules to keep in mind, when thinking about winning the $40. In order to be eligible, the full house must be made using two cards, and must be the winning hand.
The day's "standard" high hand period will last from 9:00am-12:00am, with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes. During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.
It should also be noted that players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand. The payouts for those that use one card are different than the standard numbers listed above, and can be found (full listing of one-card payouts on flyers in the poker room).
From 12:00am-3:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
