Sunday, April 2nd: Ramos And Rojas Book Wins, "Turbo High Hands" Offer $1,200 Each Hour

ICYMI: Yesterday's $5,000 "Free Roll" attracted a total of (146) entries, and offered (20) spots getting paid in the event.  We've seen these "Free Rolls" end in multi-way deals more often than not, and yesterday's installment would be no different.  After one elimination at the final table (Sergio Amato, 10th Place - $68), the final nine agreed to a deal, with Charlie Ramos (Sunrise, FL) the declared winner (earning $755).  Isle Poker notable Rick Kalgstein (Sunrise, FL) would finish "runner-up," earning himself $644 for his efforts.  The rest of the free roll's results will be posted tomorrow afternoon, in the "Week In Review" feature.

The lone "paid" tournament of the day, a $120 No Limit Hold'em ($8,000 GTD), got underway at 6:00pm.  The event ended up crushing the guarantee, finishing with a prize pool of $10,285, after a total of (121) entries.  There were (13) spots getting paid in the tournament, with things playing down to heads-up action, at which point a deal was made.  Jason Jimenez Rojas (Dominican Republic) took home $3,295 as his part of the deal, with Patrick Carnakie (West Palm Beach, FL) earning $2,054 for his runner-up finish.  

Tournaments: There is one tournament on the schedule this afternoon, a $150 No Limit Hold'em ($10,000 GTD) event.  The levels are (25) minutes throughout the tournament, and offers players a 20,000 starting stack.
