Saturday, June 30th: Wrapping Up June With Two $10,000 Guaranteed Tournaments, And $1,500 High Hand Action

ICYMI: Friday's tournament schedule started with the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack," which had a $3,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The field would be made up of (31) entries at registration's close, equating to an official prize pool that landed directly on the posted number.  Four places were scheduled to get paid, and after one in the money elimination (Howard Katz), the final three players would agree to a deal.  Long time Isle Poker Room tournament veteran Joseph Mancuso (Deerfield Beach, FL) took down first place money, earning $1,030 for first place.  Official results from the tournament are posted below:
  1. Joseph Mancuso (Deerfield Beach, FL) $1,030
  2. Al Gomez (Miami, FL) $860
  3. Martin Kaplan (West Palm Beach, FL) $780
  4. Howard Katz (Deerfield Beach, FL) $330
The "Monster Stack" was followed by the $80 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD), which attracted a field of (79) entries.  The $5,000 prize pool would be spread out across ten payouts, with action continuing through the money bubble.  Things would eventually pause when heads-up was reached, with Samuel Sternfield (Coral Springs, FL) and Chrystian Oliveira Santos (Brazil) agreeing to a chop.  Official results from the tournament are posted below:
  1. Samuel Sternfield (Coral Springs, FL) $1,520
  2. Chrystian Oliveira Santos (Brazil) $1,154
  3. Chris Haritos (West Palm Beach, FL) $610
  4. Corey Babapour (Plantation, FL) $413

  9. Allan Steinberg (Boynton Beach, FL) $170
  10. Wayne Luggery (Plantation, FL) $150
Tournaments: Saturday is a big day for tournaments, with two tournaments that boast a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The afternoon event, which begins at 11:00am, is a $175 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($10,000 GTD).  The tournament is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (25) minutes over the course of the event.  Registration is open through Level 10, giving some extra time for players to join the action.  There is a $50 bounty in the tournament, awarded for each play elimination.

The "bounty" event is followed, at 6:00pm, by a $150 No Limit Hold'em "Deepstack" ($10,000 GTD).  Players in the tournament will be sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, and playing levels that last (25) minutes.  Just like the afternoon event, registration is open through Level 10, which is just over three hours from the beginning of the tournament.


***Both tournaments are eligible to win "Free Added FSPC Seats ***
