EVENT #4 (DAY 2 CHIP COUNTS & SEATING ASSIGNMENTS)

Tournaments: While Day 2 of the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em FSPC Main Event (12:00pm) will headline today's schedule, there are two other events that may be of interest to players.  At 11:00am, the mixed-game community is front and center, with the $250 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo ($8,000 GTD) the first event of the day.  The tournament is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (30) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

A few hours after the Main Event re-start (at 3:00pm), we see Event #6 of the Florida State Poker Championships get underway.  The $360 No Limit Hold'em tournament is structured with 18,000 units, (30) minute levels, and has registration open through Level 8.

Promotions: Things begin with the "Full House Promo," which will open the doors seven day a week!!!  The proceedings begin once the doors of the poker room open, with the first (25) full houses made, earning a $50 prize.  Each jackpot eligible cash game is included in the promotion, with two rules to keep in mind, when thinking about winning the $50.  In order to be eligible, the full house must be made using two cards, and must be the winning hand.

The "standard" high hands will be awarding $150 every (20) minutes (from 9:00am-12:00am).  Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded, regardless of one or two cards being used to make the high hand.  For those players in tournaments, two-card high hands are worth $100, with one-card high hands walking away with $50.

From 12:00am-3:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
