The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 12,000 chips, and levels that last (20) minutes throughout the event. Registration is open through Level 8, allowing for almost three hours of play, prior to the window closing for the night.
Promotions: From 10:00am (the minute the doors open) until 5:00pm, $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).
In addition to the high hands, there is a "bonus" promotion in place, which offers $1,000 to the highest hand from the 10:00am-1:00pm time period. If a player makes a straight flush in the 10:00am-10:30am qualifying period, and that is the best qualifying high hand from 10:00am-1:00pm, they will earn an extra $1,000 (in addition to the $300 they were awarded for the half-hour time period).
Then, from 5:00pm-11:00pm, the high hands will increase to $500 (and will be awarded every 30 minutes).
From 11:00pm until close, $100 high hands will be awarded every (30) minutes.
