ICYMI: Saturday's tournament schedule saw some strong showings, both in the afternoon time slot ($80 No Limit Hold'em $2,000 GTD), and the evening time slot ($100 No Limit Hold'em $3,500 GTD).  The afternoon action, which got underway at 11:00am, saw the field close with a total of (46) entries.  That meant six players would be scheduled to earn a share of the $2,622 prize pool, with the official results from the tournament listed below:

Tournaments:  At 11:00am, we have the second running of the $130 No Limit Hold'em ($1,000 GTD).  The tournament is structured with 14,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

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.
