Tournaments: It's a notable day for two reason, the first of which gets underway at 1:00pm.  The remaining players from Event #6 of the Isle Open ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $300,000 GTD) return for Day 3, which begins at 1:00pm.  There are no structural changes to speak of, as play will resume with (60) minute levels, and action scheduled to reach a winner (unless a deal is agreed to before that point).

Beginning today, Mondays are going to be known for the return of "Sit-N-Gos," one of the most popular tournament formats.  From the moment the doors open, a list will start for the $150 buy-in sit-n-go, and will start once (10) players are on the list.  The single table tournament will pay three spots ($750 to first, $420 to second, and $200 to third).  The structure will be posted in the poker room, and here on the blog, once the poker room opens for the day.

Promotions: The promotional calendar for Monday is focused strictly on high hands, which run from the moment the poker room opens (9:00am), to the moment the doors shut (3:00am).  The period from 9:00am-12:00am (midnight), will see $300 high hands awarded, every (30) minutes (using both hole cards).  If the high hand is made using one card, $150 will be awarded to that player (pending the hand is the qualifying winner).  

From 12:00am-3:00am, a $100 high hand will be awarded every (60) minutes (top of the hour).

After the three starting days for Event #6, the field has a total of (158) entries, of which (52) players will be returning this afternoon (12:00pm).  We can officially discuss the potential overlay for the tournament, as the prize pool currently sits at $213,300, over $86,000 short of the guarantee!!!  That number will shrink slightly (with registration open for two levels today), but there will likely be some great value offered from this tournament.  A total of (65) entries are needed over the course of today's first two levels, and a lot of players will be keeping their eyes out on that number!!!

Tournaments: As mentioned above, players will be returning at 12:00pm this afternoon, for Day 2 of Event #6 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $300,000 GTD).  Action will resume in Level 11, with registration open through Level 12.  Players that enter this afternoon, will be sitting down to starting stacks of 40,000 units, and levels that last (60) minutes.  With the size of the potential overlay, it's likely that we will see a large number of Day 2 entries (along with players that bust Day 2, re-entering before registration closes).  

At 6:00pm, there is a very special satellite, that will also being running next Sunday as well.  As many players may already know, the Deepstack Charity Classic Tour is returning to the Isle Casino Pompano Park (first week/weekend in November).  One of the headlining tournaments is the $490 No Limit Hold'em "Sexton On The Beach" event.  One of the highlighting details of the event, is that the winner will receive a $15,000 PartyPoker Package, which includes entry into Caribbean Party Poker Millions World Main Event (a $10,300 buy-in tournament, that has a $10,000,000 guarantee!!!!).  Tonights satellite is a $110 buy-in, and will guarantee (1) seat into the "Sexton On the Beach" event, which runs on November 9th.

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.
