Friday, November 1st: With The Turn Of The Calendar, We Look Forward To Deepstack Charity Tour, And Tonight's $500 High Hands (6:00PM-Midnight)

ICYMI: Thursday's tournament schedule kicked off at 11:00am, with a $120 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo event, which boasted a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The posted number would be eclipsed long before registration closed, as the field ended up with (23) entries.  Four players were scheduled to make the money, but action ended when six players remained, as a chop was agreed to.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. Roberto Herrera (Coral Springs, FL) $547
  2. Woody Bonarto (Sunrise, FL) $527
  3. Stanley Oremland (Parkland, FL) $365
  4. Gernie Moorhead (West Palm Beach, FL) $318
  5. Allen Green (West Palm Beach, FL) $283
  6. Bernard Parness (Deerfield Beach, FL) $191
Last night's 6:00pm time slot hosted a $100 No Limit Hold'em "Green Chip Bounty" event, which had a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The field would grow to (29) entries by the time registration closed, eclipsing the number needed to reach the guarantee.  The $1,508 prize pool (not including bounties) was scheduled to be paid across four spots, with players making a deal after one in-the-money elimination.  Official results form the tournament are listed below:
  1. Frank Giordano (Pompano Beach, FL) $525

Tournaments: Today's tournament schedule has all it's focus on the upcoming Deepstack Charity Tour, which begins at the end of next week.  There are three satellites on today's schedule, into two different events during the upcoming series.  At 11:00am, there is a $60 No Limit Hold'em Satellite into "Sexton On The Beach," which is a $490 No Limit Hold'em event (on November 9th).  The eventual winner of that tournament, is scheduled to receive at $15,000 PartyPoker prize package.

Then at 3:00pm, there is a $60 No Limit Hold'em Step-Satellite into a $250 No Limit Hold'em Satellite (that gets you into the $2,200 No Limit Hold'em "Beat The Brat" event, which is hosted by Phil Hellmuth).  That high roller tournament (outside of the Howard Frank Memorial), is usually the most popular of the series.

At 6:00pm, there is a second $60 No Limit Hold'em Satellite into "Sexton On The Beach."

Promotions: The "standard" high hands will be awarding $300 every (30) minutes (from 9:00am-6:00pm).  Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded to those that use one card to make the high hand.  For those players in tournaments, high hands are worth $100.

At 6:00pm, the high hands get a little "October boost," as they transition to $500 every (30) minutes.  Players that make the high hand with one card during that period, will be awarded a $250 prize.

From 12:00am-9:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
