Saturday, January 28th: Saturdays Are For Bounties, Big Game Hunting At Night

For the past few months, it was Sunday that hosted two bounty tournaments, but things have changed in a big way this weekend.  Things start off at 11:00am, with a $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo" w/ $25 Bounties ($3,000 GTD).  Just as that event is winding down, registration will open for one of the newest additions to the daily tournament schedule.  The $240 No Limit Hold'em w/ $50 Bounties event carries with it a $15,000 guarantee, and offers players the opportunity to earn a significant amount in eliminations alone.  This is one of the larger buy-in events we've seen on the daily tournament schedule, and with those sizable bounties, we should see a sizable field this evening.

Last night's $150 No Limit Hold'em ($10,000 GTD) tournament attracted a total of (114) entries, eclipsing the posted guarantee, and ending up with a $13,110 prize pool.  The event ended in a four-way chop, with Raymond Ruszkowski (Cutler Bay, FL) earning the "winner's share" ($3,000).  Also involved in the deal were John Rodriguez ($2,299), Norman Simmons ($2,247), and Michael Sunshine ($2,025).
