Monday, November 21st: The "Structure Beast" Is Back

Thanksgiving week is finally upon us, and "Mother Nature" seems to be sending a "chilly" reminder that there is still winter in Florida.  That "Mother Nature" can be a beast, but she's no match for today's "Structure Beast," which kicks off at noon.  This is the second of two "runs" for this tournament, with the first playing out earlier this month on November 7th.  The tournament attracted over (200) entries, and soared past the $20,000 guarantee that was posted on the event.  The first place prize was schedule to be over $7,300, but things ended in a three-way chop between Ian Cohen, Rick Kalgstein, and Jack Sumner (all taking home over $4,000).  The "blogger" will be in attendance for today's event, offering up a "look through the lens," occasional tournament updates, as well as the ever popular "Week In Review" feature.

While much of the focus will be on the "Structure Beast," there is another tournament on today's schedule, with the $40 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD) getting underway at 7:00pm.
