ICYMI: There are no results from yesterday's $80 No Limit Hold'em "Sit-N-Gos," but we can relay the fact, that there numerous runnings over the course of the afternoon.  Players are beginning to like the "freedom of schedule" that the single table tournaments go, as they can show up whenever they like, and wrap up the sit-n-go at a swift pace.  There are more than a handful of dedicated "sit-n-go" days left on Decemebr's schedule, so more opportunities will be available to join the action.

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