Thursday, December 29th: Window Closing On 2016

While the tournament trend this month was ending events in a chop, last night's $100 No Limit Hold'em (Bounty) tournament was played down to an outright winner.  Jairo Carillo (Pompano Beach, FL) bested Roger Gebhardt (Canada) during heads-up play to take down the tournament, and walk away with $1,403.  

With the conclusion of that tournament, only (5) events now remain in the 2016 calendar year.  There two two tournaments on the schedule today, with the $80 No Limit Hold'em w/ $10 Bounties event beginning at 11:00am, and the $40 No Limit Hold'em ($10,000 GTD) following at 6:00pm.  Other than the "standard" high hands throughout the day, the Limit Hold'em Early Bird Promotion is also in play, with the window open to grab a ticket between the hours of 9:00am-11:00am.
