Each of the starting flights are structured with 50,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that will last (30) minutes throughout the event. Registration is open through Level 8 each day, allowing players who decide to enter last minute, a great opportunity to still play deep tournament poker.

Sandwiched between the two starting flights for Event #1, is another $80 No Limit Hold'em Step Satellite, into the $340 NLH FPSC Main Event Mega (July 23rd).
Promotions: Things begin with the "Full House Promo," which opens the doors seven day a week!!! The proceedings begin once the doors of the poker room open, with the first (25) full houses made, earning a $50 prize. Each jackpot eligible cash game is included in the promotion, with two rules to keep in mind, when thinking about winning the $50. In order to be eligible, the full house must be made using two cards, and must be the winning hand.
The "standard" high hands will be awarding $150 every (20) minutes (from 9:00am-12:00am). Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded, regardless of one or two cards being used to make the high hand. For those players in tournaments, two-card high hands are worth $100, with one-card high hands walking away with $50.
From 12:00am-3:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
