ICYMI: Saturday's tournament schedule was dedicated to the Deepstack Charity Classic Tour, with incredible action throughout the entire day.  Things got started at 1:00pm, with Event #3 of the series, a $100 No Limit Hold'em tournament.  Registration closed with (44) entries in the field, and an official prize pool of $3,080.  Six places were scheduled to get paid, and after three in-the-money eliminations, a three-way chop was agreed to (with Fred Alesi taking home first place).  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

Saturday, November 9th: Indrecible Day Of Action, With The Deepstack Charity Classic Tour In Full Swing, And Names Like Hellmuth, Sexton, And Chad In The Mix

ICYMI: Friday was the beginning of the Deepstack Charity Classic Tour, with Event #1 of the series getting underway at 1:00pm.  The $220 No Limit Hold'em event was dubbed the "Celebrity Bounty" tournament, hosted by Mike Sexton and Norman Chad.  The action was great throughout the event, and most importantly, everyone involved had a great time!!!  Registration for the event closed with (42) entries, and an official prize pool of $7,210.  Six players were scheduled to reach the money, but once play reached the money bubble, players agreed to a seven-way chop.  Details of the deal are listed below, with Justin Levy (Boynton Beach, FL) taking home first place money:

Then we start to get into the meat of the Deepstack Charity Classic Tour, with Event #3 at 2:00pm.  The $195 H.O.R.S.E. tournament should be one of the more enjoyable events of the series, as players are offered free BBQ and Pabst Blue Ribbons (while supplies last, and for those over the legal drinking age).  The mix of Hold'em, Omaha 8B, Razz, Stud Hi, and Stud Hi/Lo is a special one, and attracts a very devoted crowd.

At 3:00pm, we have the largest buy-in event of the series, the $2,200 No Limit Hold'em "Beat The Brat" High Roller.  This tournament is hosted by Phil Hellmuth, which alone will draw players, along with the standard high roller crowd that always frequents these events.  

The final event of the night is Event #5 of the series, the $490 No Limit Hold'em "Sexton On the Beach."  This tournament may be the attractive of all on the schedule, considering that there is a $15,000 PartyPoker prize package to first place (into the upcoming PartyPoker Millions Main Event, hosted at the Baha Mar in Nassau, Baahamas).

Promotions: The "standard" high hands will be awarding $300 every (30) minutes (from 9:00am-6:00pm).  Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded to those that use one card to make the high hand.  For those players in tournaments, high hands are worth $100.

At 6:00pm, the high hands get a little "November boost," as they transition to $500 every (30) minutes.  Players that make the high hand with one card during that period, will be awarded a $250 prize.

From 12:00am-9:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.

Tournaments: Sundays in November has shifted a bit, with recurring events taking a back seat to $80 No Limit Hold'em "Sit-N-Gos."  The old school favorite is making a comeback at the Isle Casino Poker Room, in almost a "survivor" fashion.  The ten-player sit-n-go will pay the top two spots, each earning $350.  A list will be started when the poker room opens, and once ten players have signed up, the sit-n-go will begin (and follow that pattern all day).  A full structure for the action can be accessed in the poker room (upon request).

Promotions: The "standard" high hands will be awarding $300 every (30) minutes (from 9:00am-12:00am).  Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded to those that use one card to make the high hand.  For those players in tournaments, high hands are worth $100.

From 12:00am-9:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
