Monday, January 27th: Tom Gity To Represent The Isle Poker Room, At The Millions South America In Uruguay!!!

ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament schedule was headlined by the second (of three) $550 buy-in satellite, to the PartyPokerLive Millions South America (a $10,000 buy-in event, hosted in Uruguay). Registration was open for eight levels, and when the window for entry closed, the tournament clock would show a total of (9) entries.  The guaranteeed $13,000 package was up for grabs, and when the dust settled, Tom Gity (Port St. Lucie, FL) would be the final player remaining.  A tournament veteran, and one of the more succesful players in recent Isle history, Gity will surely be a great representative of the room.

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: The day's promotions begin at 9:00am, with three hours of "Turbo High Hands," as $100 will be awarded every (10) minutes (rollovers apply).  The promotion runs from 9:00am-12:00pm, and has quickly become popular with the players (as the rollovers have seen some high hands reach the $1,000 mark!!!).

The standard high hand promotion then takes over, and runs from 12:00pm-12:00am.  Qualifying high hands will be awarded $300, given away every (30) minutes (no rollovers).  During that period, if the winning high hand is made using one card, a $150 prize will be awarded.  For those players playing in a tournament, winning high hands will be paid out $100.

From 12:00am-3:00am, $50 high hands will be awarded every (60) minutes.
