Monday, February 17th: Gyorgy Cseke Takes Down $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD), After A Four-Way Chop!!!

Gyorgy Cseke (Boca Raton, FL) 

ICYMI: At 12:00pm yesterday afternoon, (122) players returned for Day 2 of the $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD).  Of those coming back, (75) would earn a piece of the $118,400 prize pool, with all eyes on the $22,320 up top.  The transition to (25) minute levels (from the 30 minutes this tournament had run with in the past) helped the event move along at a slightly quicker pace, with players reaching the money just a few hours into play.  From there, action would reach the final table shortly after 6:30pm.  Play continued to the point where things were four-handed, with those left agreeing to a four-way chop.  Gyorgy Cseke (Boca Raton, FL) found himself in position to take home first place money ($18,090), which became his third Isle Poker title (he had a win in the 2014 Isle Open, and 2016 Florida State Poker Championships).  Official final table results are listed below, with full results from the event found by CLICKING HERE.  The results have been submitted to Hendon Mob, and can also be found on their website.

Tournaments: Today's schedule focuses on the $80 No Limit Hold'em "Sit-N-Go" once again.  These single-table tournaments are paying out two spots, with the first and second place finishers earning $350 (adding an element of "survivor" to the proceedings).  Players that are interested in these "Sit-N-Gos" can put their name on the list (at the brush stand), and once ten names are collected, the tournament will begin.

Promotions: The day's promotions begin 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.

From 12:00am-3:00am, $50 high hands will be awarded every (60) minutes.

All Day - $80 No Limit Hold'em "Sit-N-Go" ($350 To Top Two Spots)
