Wednesday, March 15th: "Spin To Win" Promotion Front And Center

ICYMI: The "Tuesday $10k" did not disappoint last night, attracting a total of (384) entries, which built a prize pool just over $13,000.  The posted first place prize on this $40 No Limit Hold'em event was $3,528, but the tournament never made it that far.  A total of (36) places would make the money, and once action reached the final table bubble (eleven players remaining), the group decided to make a deal.  Henry Behr (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) was the "declared winner," earning himself $1,469 for first place money.  Also part of the multi-way deal were Rob Hindman (2nd Place - $1,346), Roy Paulena (5th Place - $953), and Rick Kalgstein (10th Place - $687).  The tournament continues to be one of the more popular on the "daily schedule," with Thursday's installment ($60 No Limit Hold'em $12,000 GTD) a very close second.

Promotions: The high hand promotions are in full swing from the moment the doors open this morning, with the "Turbo High Hands" ($100 awarded every 10 minutes from 9:00am-12:00pm, with rollovers) distributing money at a rapid pace.  The transition at 12:00pm begins the "Spin To Win" promotion, which awarded $11,500 in promotional prize money last week (over a span of eleven hours).  It's the high hand promotion that makes all others jealous, and affords those that have a qualifying high hand (awarded every 30 minutes), an opportunity to spin the ever-popular "Money Wheel."  The total amount awarded...along with hourly breakdown, will be published tomorrow afternoon, here on the blog.

Tournaments: With much of the focus on the high hand promotions for the day, there is only one event on the tournament schedule.  At 6:00pm, the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) gets underway, offering up 18,000 chip starting stacks, and (15) minute levels throughout the event.  The tournament is a "green chip bounty," meaning players are awarded $25 for every elimination they get over the course of the event.
