Saturday, December 24th: "Monster Stack" Stands Alone, Happy Hanukkah!!!

The holiday calendar sees Hanukkah and Christmas fall within (24) hours of each other, so while the holidays "officially" begin tomorrow for those who celebrate Christmas, those observing Hanukkah begin celebrating tonight.  We would like to take a moment to wish followers of the blog, Isle Poker Room players, dealers, Isle Poker Room staff, and everyone's "extended" family, a "Happy Holidays!"

It must feel like the holidays have arrived early for a two Isle Poker Room notables, as Bobby Perniola and Karin Powsner reached their second final table of the week.  As part of a four-way deal, Powsner took fourth place ($1,693), while Perniola was declared runner-up for $2,104.  The $150 No Limit Hold'em event attracted (110) total entries, and surpassed the posted $10,000 guaranteed by over $2,600.

Today's tournament schedule sees the return of the "New Monster Stack," a $110 No Limit Hold'em tournament with (25) minute levels, and a 25,000 starting stack.  There is a guarantee of $15,000 on today's event, which should attract a nice sized field.

2:00pm - $110 No Limit Hold'em "New Monster Stack" ($15,000 Guaranteed):

- Players will start with 25,000 in tournament chips

- Late and re-entries for the first (8) levels

- Alternates and late entries will start with a full stack
