Once the field is determined for the Valuetown™ event and cards are in the air for day two, we move on to the $100,000 guaranteed Pot-Limit Omaha. They love their PLO here in Texas, so we expect a big field in this one. With six starting flights, there are lots of chances to get in on this one. Our first two flights are tomorrow, at 5pm and 9pm, with the 9pm flight running as a turbo. Clcik on teh structure sheet to the left for full info and schedule.

Registration is now closed on Flight 1I, and Flight 1J registration is open. Flight 1K will open at 9pm, and the last chance turbo flight, 1L, will start at 10am tomorrow. Day two starts tomorrow at 4pm.
Flight 1I will pay 15 spots, with 7 players advancing to day two. We are down below 30 players at the moment, and there are still a few bonus hunters in the field looking to sneak into day two and grab that $2,000.
This multi-flight setup, with three flights a day, is popular with players, especially grinders looking for double bag bonuses or to get a bigger stack through. There is only about an hour of the day where there is not a flight open for registration, so players who really want to get in there and mix it up can fire those bullets and try to build a monster all day, every day.
Our next event will be a $400 P0t-Limit Omaha Event with six flights, and a $100,000 guarantee. The first flight is tomorrow at 5pm, and there will be a turbo flight at 9pm as well. There's nothing quite as exciting as a turbo PLO flight! Get em in the middle!
We had four players bag chips in this flight. A nice field for a 9pm start and a turbo structure. There were definitely some players chasing double bag bonuses in this one. Nine players made the money, with five of them busting before it was time to bag chips and come back on Monday.
We had ten players advance from this flight, with Brandon Lloyd bagging the chip lead for the flight at 811,000. That is at least eighty big blinds on day two because one of the turbo flights finished early and we will be rolling the blinds all the way back to 5,000/10,000. With 40 minute levels on day two tomorrow, and the restart at 4pm, we may be here well into the morning hours as this monster plays out.
Our chip leader, Brandon Lloyd, lives in Houston and has almost $60,000 in live tournament winnings, with his biggest score coming just this January in a Trailblazer Poker Tour event here at Texas Card House in Houston where he finished as runner up for $29,080.
We have had surprisingly few double bags, though our first double bagger, Roland 'Scoop Scoop' Jackson is here today looking for a third bag.

We have eight players advancing to day two in Valuetown™ Flight 1F. Seven more players cashed but did not make day two. No double bags in this flight, but there are a lot of people hunting that double bag bonus now.
Big gallery from a big flight!
Faces Of TCH - Valuetown™ Flight 1G
And not just any royal flush, but a flop em dead, ultimate royal in spades. And it was all-in preflop with against /. Imagine getting it in with two kings and the flop leaves you stone dead. Ouch! Some unlucky player has nothing but a terrible bad beat story to show for their entry in todays Valuetown™ event.
Roland 'Scoop Scoop' Jackson, from Houston, Texas, has been playing poker for 15 years. His journey into the game began when his children gifted him an Xbox as a joke. He played a poker game on the console, and thought he was a real shark until he discovered that he was playing on the amateur setting.
Despite a rocky start in live games, Scoop Scoop has achieved notable success, including turning $500 into $25,000 twice in local cash games. His nickname, "Scoop Scoop," reflects his knack for winning big pots. Outside of poker, he works as a specialist in negotiations and problem solving.
Scoop Scoop was the first to claim the $2,000 double bag bonus in our Valuetown™ event here at Texas Card House in Houston. Jackson bagged a nice 600k stack in an early flight and came back hunting the bonus. He managed to squeak in with one big blind last night in Flight 1E to claim the bonus and will be back to shoot for more of that tasty bonus money.
We had our first $2,000 double bag bonus and five bags total in this event. We'll have a feature on our first double bagger, Roland 'Scoop Scoop' Jackson coming up next.
These 9 players will advance to day two in our Valuetown™ event, and 10 players cashed but busted before day two.
