Tournaments: The success of these weekend tournaments has come as no surprise, with Saturday's evening event growing each and every week.  Tonight's action begins at 6:00pm, with a $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD), offering up some of the best value in the area.  The event is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and has registration that is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows).

Promotions: Saturday's high hand promotion stays the same from open to close...awarded $100 every (30) minutes, to the qualifying high hand (must be aces-full or better).  In order to make a qualifying high hand, players must use both hole cards, as one-card high hands are no longer eligible.
