Tournaments: As we reach the beginning of the 2018 Battles At The Beach, today's tournament schedule takes that into consideration.  The 11:00am event is a $340 No Limit Hold'em "Super Survivor," which will award approximately 1 in every 10 players a prize of $3,000.  It's a perfect number to go into the series with, as is will likely pay for most all of the events any singular can put on their schedule.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 15,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes.  As mentioned above, for every ten entries in the field, a $3,000 payout spot will make it's way to the tournament clock.  (For example, if there are (60) entries in the tournament at registration's close, then at least six payspots will be listed.  Like a satellite, once the field then reaches the point when sex players remain, the event is over).

The standard tournament format returns at 6:00pm, with the evening time slot hosting a $100 No Limit Hold'em event (that has a $5,000 guaranteed prize pool).  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 14,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes.

Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am (midnight), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes.  During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible (Isle Open events not eligible for high hand) each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.  From 12:00am-9:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.

It should also be noted that started back on November 1st, players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand!!!  The payouts for those that use one card are different than the standard numbers listed above, and can be found (full listing of one-card payouts on flyers in the poker room).

Tournaments: Monday's tournament schedule returns to "normal," with two events for players to choose from.  The first event of the day, which begins at 11:00am, is an $80 No Limit Hold'em tournament, which carries a $2,500 guarantee.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 12,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes.

The evening event, which gets underway at 6:00pm, is a $150 No Limit Hold'em tournament.  The prize pool is guaranteed to be at least $5,000, but expects to grow even larger, as we've seen that past few weeks.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 16,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes throughout the night.


Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am (midnight), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes.  During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible (Isle Open events not eligible for high hand) each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.  From 12:00am-9:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.

It should also be noted that started back on November 1st, players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand!!!  The payouts for those that use one card are different than the standard numbers listed above, and can be found (full listing of one-card payouts on flyers in the poker room).
