ICYMI: Tuesday's tournament action kicked off at 11:00am, with the $120 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo event, which boasted a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool. The registration period was open for just under three hours, and when the window closed, the field would have just enough entries to reach the guarantee (21 entries). Three places were scheduled to get paid, and once the money bubble burst, a three-way deal was agreed to, with Stephen Reid walking away with first place money ($832). Official results from the afternoon event are listed below:
- Stephen Reid (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $832

Tournaments: With the month of March now upon us, and the tournament schedule recently released, players may have noticed the proliferation of satellites (for the 2020 Battles At The Beach). The premier day for satellites is on March 19th, as there will be at least (30) seats awarded into the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event ($250,000 GTD). Leading up to those mega-satellites, there are (31) step-satellites that players can choose from, trying to gain entry for a fraction of the price. There are two step-satellites on today's schedule, playing out at 11:00am and 6:00pm.
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-2:00pm. 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.
At 2:00pm, we see a big shift in the promotion, as the qualifying high hands will be awarded every (30) minutes...with the top of the hour high (:00) hands winning $1,000, and the bottom of the hour (:30) high hands winning $400. The promotion will run through 10:00pm, and during that eight-hour time period, qualifying high hands can be made using one or two cards (same promotional prize will be paid). Rollovers will also apply during the 2:00pm-10:00pm time period!!!
The standard high hand promotion then returns for the 10:00pm-12:00am period.
From 12:00am-3:00am, $50 high hands will be awarded every (60) minutes.
11:00am - $50 No Limit Hold'em Step-Satellite Into $340 Battles At The Beach Main Event Mega Satellite (1 Seat GTD)
