Friday, September 20th: When Friday Comes Back Around, That Means $500 High Hands Are The Headliner

ICYMI: The official results from Thursday's tournament schedule (September 19th) have not yet been submitted, but they will be posted shortly after the poker room opens.  Followers of the blog should check back around 10:00am for that update.


Tournaments: At 11:00am, we see the return of the $125 Pot Limit Omaha (w/ $100 Re-Buys), which carries a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The tournament is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration through Level 8.  Players can re-buy anytime they have a stack of 16,000 units (or below).

The evening tournament (6:00pm) is an $80 No Limit Hold'em event, which carries a $3,000 guarantee.  The tournament is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  At the end of registration, players have the option to add-on, choosing between a single ($20) or double ($40).


Promotions: Things begin with the "Full House Promo," which opens 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-6:00pm).  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 6:00pm-12:00am, the high hands will still be awarded every (30) minutes, but the winning amount goes up to $500 (for high hands using both cards).  Those winning high hands that are made using one card (during that time period), will be awarded $250.

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