ICYMI: Saturday's recurring tournament action kicked off at 11:00am, with the $80 No Limit Hold'em "Bankroll Builder," a tournament that had a $2,000 posted guarantee.  After eight levels of open registration, the event would close with (33) entries, and an official prize pool of $2,000.  Five players were scheduled to reach the money, and once the bubble burst, a deal was agreed to.  The official results from the tournament are listed below:

Tournaments: Sunday's recurring schedule offers up another day of "fresh" events, which are making their appearance for the first time ever.  At 11:00am, we have the inaugural running of the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Seniors And Veterans" event, which boasts $100 "rake-free" re-buys, and an guaranteed prize pool of $2,000.  The tournament is structured with 15,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  Re-buys are offered when players have 15,000 unit stacks (or below).

The 6:00pm tournament has been labeled "Super Sunday Nights," as the $50 No Limit Hold'em ($1,000 GTD) event runs with $30 "rake-free" re-buys.  The tournament is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 10.  Re-buys are offered when players have 10,000 unit stacks (or below).

Promotions: Things begin with the "Full House Promo," which will open the doors seven days a week (9:00am on Saturday and Sunday).  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.
