Monday, December 2nd: Turbo High Hands ($100 Every 10 Minutes) With Rollovers Make A Big Splash...And They're Running Every Day!!!!

ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament schedule focused on the $80 No Limit Hold'em "Sit-N-Gos," which official results are not reported to Hendon Mob (or posted here on the blog).  What may have been missed by blog followers (and players in the room), is the release of the December tournament calendar.  There was a post made yesterday, with a link to the tournament schedule, which is headlined by a $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD).  The links on the blog will be updated today, for the tournament schedule, and December promotions.

Tournaments: Today's schedule focuses on the $80 No Limit Hold'em "Sit-N-Go" once again.  These single-table tournaments are paying out two spots, with the first and second place finishers earning $350 (adding an element of "survivor" to the proceedings).  Players that are interested in these "Sit-N-Gos" can put their name on the list (at the brush stand), and once ten names are collected, the tournament will begin.

Promotions: With the calendar changing over to December, there are some changes in promotions to take note of.  Every day, from 9:00am through 12:00pm, the high hands will be $100 every (10) minutes.  The "turbo" high hands will have rollovers, meaning we will see some healthy payouts over the course of the three hour period.  Qualifying high hands can be made using one or two cards, and will receive the same $100 payout (or whatever the rollover amount is for the period).  Yesterday, one player was able to walk away with a $1,000 payouts, after there were (9) rollovers in the morning!!!!!

The "standard" high hands will be awarding $300 every (30) minutes (from 12:00pm-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.

(All Day) $80 No Limit Hold'em "Sit-N-Go" (Top Two Spots Earn $350)
