Tournaments: With the month of March now upon us, and the tournament schedule recently released, players may have noticed the proliferation of satellites (for the 2020 Battles At The Beach). The premier day for satellites is on March 19th, as there will be at least (30) seats awarded into the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event ($250,000 GTD). Leading up to those mega-satellites, there are (31) step-satellites that players can choose from, trying to gain entry for a fraction of the price. There are two step-satellites on today's schedule, playing out at 11:00am and 3:00pm.
In the evening time slot, 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 day's promotions begin 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, $50 high hands will be awarded every (60) minutes.
