Wednesday, January 8th: Another Succesful "Tournament Tuesday," Leads Into "Bounty Wednesday"

ICYMI: Tuesday's tournament schedule kicked off at 11:00am, with a $120 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo event, that boasted a $2,000 guarantee.  As has been the trend for this particular tournament, the guarantee was easily surpassed, as registration closed with (23) entries.  Four players were scheduled to reach the money, but action ended up pausing with six left, at which point a deal was agreed to.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. Michelle Erb (Delray Beach, FL) $576
  2. Gary Axelrod (Pompano Beach, FL) $512
  3. Lee Schneider (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $461
  4. David Iseman (Toronto, Canada) $318
  5. Jack Kay (Aura, CO) $213
  6. Robert Wachtez (Boca Raton, FL) $151
The evening time slot hosted the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster" ($3,000 GTD), which is the most popular tournament on the recurring schedule.  Registration for the event closed with (38) entries, and an official prize pool of $3,686.  Five players were scheduled to reach the money, and once the bubble burst, a deal was agreed to (with the official results listed below):
  1. Zaki Lichaa (Pompano Beach, FL) $937
  2. Michael Corbett (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $904
  3. David Coughlin (Lighthouse Point, FL) $712

Tournaments: Today's tournament schedule begins with a "new" event in the 11:00am time slot...a $60 No Limit Hold'em "Bounty" tournament ($10 bounties).  The tournament is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 10.

In the evening time slot (6:00pm), we see the return of the $125 No Limit Hold'em "Green Chip Bounty" event.  The tournament is structured with 18,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and has registration open through Level 8.

Promotions: The doors open at 9:00am, with three hours of "Turbo High Hands," as $100 will be awarded every (10) minutes (rollovers apply).  The promotion runs from 9:00am-12:00pm, and has quickly become popular with the players (as the rollovers have seen some high hands reach the $1,000 mark!!!).

The standard high hand promotion then takes over, and runs from 12:00pm-12:00am.  Qualifying high hands will be awarded $300, given away every (30) minutes (no rollovers).  During that period, if the winning high hand is made using one card, a $150 prize will be awarded.  For those players playing in a tournament, winning high hands will be paid out $100.
