Saturday, October 12th: A Mirror Image Of Yesterday, With A Pair Of Event #3 Starting Flights, And $500 High Hands In The Evening

ICYMI: The second pair of starting flights for Event #3 of the Isle Open, got underway at 11:00am yesterday afternoon.  Registration for the flight would close with (61) entries, which made Flight 1C the largest of the three to have been completed.  A total of (8) players bagged chips at the end of play, with the official chip counts from Flight 1C listed below:

Robert Dobbs - 443,500
Robert Feinstein - 298,500
Lee Schneider - 265,000
Nagui Yassa - 236,000
Luis Graviar - 194,500
Matthew Ehrlich - 184,000
Glen Canelstein - 164,000
Jeffrey Silverstein - 84,500

The "largest flight" label only lasted a short while, as Flight 1D eclipsed the number from the afternoon, with (72) entries on the board at the end of registration.  Once again, we would see (8) players reach the bagging process, with the official chip counts listed below:

Evensy Kharchenko - 556,000
Lisa Teebagy - 325,000
Juan Reyes - 299,000
Bradley Grossman - 287,000
Rafael Ramos - 247,000
Robert Leff - 220,000
Scott Hecker - 136,000
Blaine McRae - 91,000

The third tournament of the Isle Open now has a total of (244) entries, after four completed flights.  The current prize pool of $24,400 is just short of halfway to the guarantee, with the number expected to be eclipsed with ease.

Tournaments: After passing the midway point of the eight starting flights, Event #3 is coming around the turn, and heading down the homestretch.  Event #3, which is a $130 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD), continues at 11:00am this afternoon.  Flight 1E (along with the rest of the flights that follow) is structured with 30,000 unit starting stacks, (30) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  Play is scheduled to conclude after Level 16 (or if the field reaches it's 10% mark), with those that bag for Day 2, returning at 12:00pm on Monday (October 14th).

Flight 1F gets underway just around the time the afternoon flight is bagging (6:00pm), with the structure mirroring the earlier action.

Promotions: The "standard" high hands will be awarding $300 every (30) minutes (from 9:00am-6:00pm).  Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded to those that use one card to make the high hand.  For those players in tournaments, high hands are worth $100.

At 6:00pm, the high hands get a little "October boost," as they transition to $500 every (30) minutes.  Players that make the high hand with one card during that period, will be awarded a $250 prize.

From 12:00am-9:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
