Thursday, January 23rd: "Turbo High Hands" And "Chip Buster" Headline Friday's Schedule

ICYMI: At 6:00pm, the $125 No Limit Hold'em "Green Chip Bounty" got underway, with registration open for eight levels.  When that window closed, the tournament clock would show (20) entries, of which three players were scheduled to reach the money.  Once the bubble burst, there would be one in-the-money elimination, followed by a heads-up chop.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Richard Fleming (Delray Beach, FL) $560
2. Carolyn Mevorah (Pompano Beach, FL) $560
3. Carroll Ross (Bristol, CT) $280

Tournaments: In the evening time slot (6:00pm), we have the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster" ($3,000 GTD), one of (if not) the most popular recurring tournaments on the schedule.  The event is structured with 50,000 unit starting stacks, (20) 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-12:00am.  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.

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