ICYMI: Thursday's tournament schedule hosted the second pair of starting flights for the $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD), which set the tone for the rest of the event.  Things started a little slowly during Flight 1C, but the pace of entry picked up before registration's close, with the field reaching a total of (69) entries.  Flight 1D ended up becoming the largest of the four flights to have been completed, as registration closed with a total of (97) entries.  A combined total of (29) players succesfully bagged chips (11 from Flight 1C, and 18 from Flight 1D), with the official list of players to bag during Thursday's action, published below:

Tournaments: There is absolutely no waiting in 2020, as we jump right into a $200 No Limit Hold'em event, that carries a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool.  Today's schedule hosts the third pair of opening flights, with Flight 1E getting underway at 11:00am, followed by Flight 1F at 6:00pm.  Each of the flights are structured with 30,000 unit starting stacks, (30) minute levels, and have registration open through Level 8 (and the break that follows).  Action is scheduled to play through Level 14, or if the field reaches the 10% mark, whichever comes first.  Those players that succesfully bag chips, will return for Day 2 on Sunday (January 5th), with action resuming at 12:00pm.

Those players that are interested in joining the action for a fraction of the price, have the opportunity to play in a $45 No Limit Hold'em Satellite, which gets underway at 2:00pm.  There is a satellite running each day, from Thursday through Saturday.

Promotions: The "Turbo High Hands" were well received in December, and they have found a home in January as well.  Beginning at 9:00am (every day of the week), $100 high hands will be awarded every (10) minutes, with rollovers applying.  Because of those rollovers, we have seen the 9:00am-12:00pm period award prizes of $400...$700...even $1,000, over the past month.

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.

At 6:00pm, the high hands grow even larger, as $500 will be awarded every (30) minutes.  The winning high hands made with one card (during the 6:00pm-midnight period) will be awarded $250.

From 12:00am-9:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
