Saturday, November 3rd: It's The Busiest Day Of The Deepstack Charity Festival, With Five Spectacular Events To Choose From!!!

ICYMI: Yesterday was the second full day of the Deepstack Charity Festival, with one satellite on the schedule (for the "Beat The Brat" high roller), as well as two "main events."  The day's first main event was Event #2 of the series (a $75 No Limit Hold'em tournament).  The event would see registration close with (27) entries, and an official prize pool of $1,539.  The tournament ended in a five-way deal, with the official results posted below:
  1. Helen McBreaty (Kissimmee, FL) $366
  2. Mark Smith (Naples, FL) $359
  3. Morris Heider (Boca Raton, FL) $288
  4. Arnold Cohen (West Palm Beach, FL) $277
  5. Neil Harvey (York, PA) $249
The second Deepstack Charity Festival event of the day got under way, and had players in the room buzzing.  Event #4 ($220 No Limit Hold'em "Celebrity Bounty") had five special bounties in the field, which players would earn "double" ($50 opposed to $25), but really just wanted to share the felt with.  Norman Chad, Robert Mizrachi, Linda Johnson, Jan Fisher, and Robert Williamson, were the five players that had "targets" on their bounties.  The tournament's field closed with (37) entries, and an official prize pool of $5,960.  Six players were scheduled to reach the money, and after Ronald Palculict was eliminated in sixth place, the final five players agreed to a deal.  The only "celebrity" to reach the money was Linda Johnson, who is now two for two in Deepstack Charity Events.  Robert Dobbs (Delray Beach, FL) was awarded first place money, which was worth $1,574 in the deal.  The result of the results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. Robert Dobbs (Delray Beach, FL) $1,574
  2. Tracey Watson (Guthrie, OK) $1,231
  3. Neil Webber (Austin, TX) $900
  4. Linda Johnson (Las Vegas, NV) $830
  5. Sean Kersey (Pembroke Pines, FL) $765
  6. Ronald Palculict (El Dorado, AR) $660
