With just two flights remaining, the "Chip Buster" now has a total of (643) entries, of which (101) players are scheduled to return for Day 2.  The $86,805 prize pool is well ahead of pace to crush the guarantee, which should be surpassed before the end of this afternoon's flight.

Tournaments: For those players interested in joining the "Chip Buster" action, today is the final opportunity to enter the $175 No Limit Hold'em event.  There is an 11:00am flight (Flight 1I), and 6:00pm flight (Flight 1J), giving players two opportunities to try and bag for tomorrow's Day 2.  The tournament is structured with 50,000 unit starting stacks, (30) minute levels, and has registration that is open through Level 8. 

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-6:00pm).  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 6:00pm-12:00am, the high hands will still be awarded every (30) minutes, but the winning amount goes up to $500 (for high hands using both cards).  Those winning high hands that are made using one card (during that time period), will be awarded $250.

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

Tuesday, September 3rd: Poker Room To Open At 12:00PM, Continue With Standard Working Hours

ICYMI: The Isle Casino Pompano Park poker room will be opening at 12:00pm, and will return to stand working hours (with the casino and poker room closing at 3:00am).  

Tournaments: Since the room is opening at 12:00pm, there is no 11:00am tournament on the recurring tournament calendar.  For those players that have been looking for an event to play, the 6:00pm event will run as scheduled (without a posted guarantee).  The $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster" will be the first tournament run since last Friday (with the cancelation of the "Chip Buster" $100,000 GTD flight), so the field is sure to be filled with tournament players waiting to get back to work.  As always, the tournament is structured with 50,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

Promotions: Things begin with the "Full House Promo," which will open the doors seven days a week (9:00am on Saturday and Sunday).  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.
