Last night was the introduction of the $230 No Limit Hold'em "Deep Stack Bounty" ($100 Bounties) to the schedule, and it did not disappoint. A total of (29) players made up the $2,900 prize pool, with once again, three spots being paid in the event. After the elimination of Rafiki Brown (Pembroke Pines, FL) in third place ($580), David Richardson (Cape Coral, FL) and Adel Jo (Miami, FL) agreed to a heads-up chop. With the chip counts about as close as can be, the two agreed on an even chop, with both players earning themselves $1,160.
Promotions: Today's promotion was so popular amongst players, that those playing no limit hold'em became somewhat envious (and have now been given their own day for the same promotion). The Limit Hold'em Early Bird Promotion kicks off the moments the poker room doors open (9:00am), and award those playing any limit game the opportunity to earn the "table minimum" for a full house. Players in the 2/2 LH will earn $20 for each full house, with those in the 2/4 LH receiving $40 for their full houses.
Tournaments: There are two tournaments on the schedule today, including one that has become the most popular event with the players. The "Tuesday 10k" affords players the opportunity earn an incredible return on investment, shelling out only $40 for the buy-in. The tournament has consistently attracted over (350-400) total entries, and tonight should be no different. Last week's installment of this event was part of the Battles At The Beach, and actually saw players decide to bag chips for the first time in memory. This tournament most always ends in a multi-way chop, so don't let the idea of bagging sway your interest, it was a once in a year occasion.
