The official prize pool for the tournament now sits at $88,044, and is just under $22,000 way from reaching the posted number (which should occur at the time Flight 1H begins).  Those still interested in joining the action, have two flights to choose from today, as Day 2 picks back up tomorrow at 12:00pm.

Tournaments: Today's tournament schedule looks very much like the weekend days that have passed, but there are two small differences to take note of.  We have the final pair of flights for the $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD), and a satellite for the event, but two of the starting times have changed.  Flight 1G will begin at 11:00am (as have the rest of the afternoon flights), with the $50 No Limit Hold'em Satellite following at 2:00pm, and Flight 1H starting at 5:00pm (both are pushed back one hour).  Everyone should know the structure for the $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) by now, with 18,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (25) minutes (registration open through Level 8).

The structure for the satellite stays the same as well, with starting stacks of 10,000 units, and levels that last (15) minutes (registration through Level 8).


Promotions: The high hands will run from 9:00am-12:00am, with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes.  During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.  

It should also be noted that players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand.  The payouts for those that use one card are different than the standard numbers listed above, and can be found (full listing of one-card payouts on flyers in the poker room).

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