Thursday, August 1st: As August Arrives, So Does New Recurring Tournaments And Promotions!!!

ICYMI: Wednesday afternoon, we saw the return of the recurring tournament schedule, as the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor" ($2,000 GTD) got underway at 11:00am.  The tournament ended up getting (20) total entries by registration's close, which is exactly what was needed to meet the posted guarantee.  That meant two spots were scheduled to earn $1,000 payouts, with action playing through the money bubble (official results listed below):
  1. Kevin Maingot (Vero Beach, FL) $1,000
  2. Paul Gagliardo (Pompano Beach, FL) $1,000
The evening time slot (6:00pm) hosted an $80 No Limit Hold'em event, that boasted a guarantee of $1,500.  After eight levels of open registration, the field would close with (18) entries, and an official prize pool of $1,500 (after optional add-ons were included).  Just like the afternoon event, two spots were scheduled to get paid, but the action ended in a three way deal (unlike the afternoon event).  Official details of the deal are listed below:
  1. Oscar Matos (Pompano Beach, FL) $500
  2. Beth Liebowitz (Port Charlotte, FL) $500
  3. Trey Brauch (Ft. Myers, FL) $500
Tournaments: With the new month starting, players will notice numerous changes to the recurring tournament schedule...one of which happens this afternoon.  Today, and three Thursdays in August, the $120 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo ($2,000 GTD) finds itself a home.  The tournament is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and has registration open through Level 8.

The non-no limit Hold'em action is followed (at 6:00pm), by a $100 No Limit Hold'em "Green Chip Bounty" ($2,000 GTD) event.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 14,000 units, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  Throughout the tournament, each player elimination is worth $25 (hence the green chip bounty).

Promotions: Things begin with the "Full House Promo," which will open the doors seven day a week!!!  The proceedings begin once the doors of the poker room open, with the first (25) full houses made, earning a $50 prize.  Each jackpot eligible cash game is included in the promotion, with two rules to keep in mind, when thinking about winning the $50.  In order to be eligible, the full house must be made using two cards, and must be the winning hand.

The "standard" high hands will be awarding $150 every (20) minutes (from 9:00am-12:00am).  Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded, regardless of one or two cards being used to make the high hand.  For those players in tournaments, two-card high hands are worth $100, with one-card high hands walking away with $50.

From 12:00am-3:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
