Friday, September 13th: $500 High Hands Get The Weekend Started In Big Fashion!!!

ICYMI: The mixed-game players kicked off yesterday's tournament schedule, with the $120 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo ($2,000 GTD) getting underway at 11:00am.  By the time registration closed, the field would grow to (25) entries, which equated to a prize pool of $2,425.  Four players were scheduled to reach the money, but the bubble would never be reached, as a seven-way deal was agreed to.  Official results from the event are listed below:
  1. Ricardo Quintero (Miramar, FL) $709
  2. Robert Leff (Opa Locka, FL) $624
  3. Stanley Oremland (Parkland, FL) $350

  5. Arnold Cohen (West Palm Beach, FL) $180
  6. Phillip Diecidue (Plantation, FL) $180

No limit Hold'em returned for the evening time slot (6:00pm), with players arriving for the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Green Chip Bounty" ($2,000 GTD) event.  The posted guarantee would once again be surpassed, after the field closed with (30) entries.  Four players were scheduled to earn a respective piece of the $1,560 prize pool (bounties weren't included), and once the money bubble burst, a four-way chop was agreed to (with the details listed below):
  1. Stuart Brown (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $526
  2. Daniel Shortley (Lake Worth, FL) $421
  3. Daniele Nucci (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $355

Tournaments: At 11:00am, we see the return of the $125 Pot Limit Omaha (w/ $100 Re-Buys), which carries a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The tournament is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration through Level 8.  Players can re-buy anytime they have a stack of 16,000 units (or below).

The evening tournament (6:00pm) is an $80 No Limit Hold'em event, which carries a $3,000 guarantee.  The tournament is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  At the end of registration, players have the option to add-on, choosing between a single ($20) or double ($40).

Promotions: Things begin with the "Full House Promo," which opens 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-6:00pm).  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 6:00pm-12:00am, the high hands will still be awarded every (30) minutes, but the winning amount goes up to $500 (for high hands using both cards).  Those winning high hands that are made using one card (during that time period), will be awarded $250.

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