Tournament: Players have had today's date circled on their calendars, as rhe month's second six-figure guaranteed tournament gets underway.  The $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) event has a total of eight starting flights, two of which are on today's schedule.  There is a flight at 11:00am (Flight 1A), and a flight at 6:00pm (Flight 1B), both carrying the same structure.  Players will be sitting down to stacks of 30,000 units, with levels that last (25) minutes, and registration that is open through Level 8.  Those players that are succesful in bagging chips, will return to Day 2 on Sunday (at 12:00pm).

For those that would like to join the action for a lesser price, there is a $45 No Limit Hold'em Satellite into the $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD), which begins at 2:00pm.  The satellite is structured with 8,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

Promotions: The doors open at 9:00am, with three hours of "Turbo High Hands," as $100 will be awarded every (10) minutes (rollovers apply).  The promotion runs from 9:00am-12:00pm, and has quickly become popular with the players (as the rollovers have seen some high hands reach the $1,000 mark!!!).

The standard high hand promotion then takes over, and runs from 12:00pm-2:00pm.  Qualifying high hands will be awarded $300, given away every (30) minutes (no rollovers).  During that period, if the winning high hand is made using one card, a $150 prize will be awarded.  For those players playing in a tournament, winning high hands will be paid out $100.

At 12:00pm, we see a transition to some special high hands, with $400 high hands awarded every (20) minutes (with rollovers).  The special period will run from 2:00pm to 10:00pm, with the "standard high hands" returns for two hours (until $100 high hands begin at midnight).

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