Tournaments: Players have had this day circled on their calendar, as it marks not only the return of the extended "Weekend Swing," but also the second running of the $150 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD). The event's introduction to the schedule was an impressive one, as the field reached (66) entries, and cruised past the posted guarantee (with more of the same expected this evening). The action gets underway at 6:00pm, with players sitting down to starting stacks of 15,000 units, playing (20) minute levels, and late registration through Level 8.
Promotions: From 11:00am (the minute the doors open) to 11:00pm, $300 high hands will be awarded every (30) minutes. These high hands must be aces-full or better, use both hole cards, and be the winning hand (in a pot that has at least $10).
The 11:00pm-Close period will then see $100 high hands awarded every (30) minutes.
