Tuesday, February 7th: $20,000 GTD "Nightly" Headlines Tuesday's Schedule

For those players that frequent tournaments at the Isle Casino Poker Room, the likelihood of sharing the table with Daniel Genachte (Deerfield Beach, FL) at some point is very high.  Genachte is a staple in the poker room, playing a handful of tournaments each week (at the least), along with the occasional cash game.  Genacthe added $800 to his career live tournament earnings of $181,946, after chopping yesterday's afternoon tournament ($80 No Limit Hold'em w/ $10 Bounties).  The tournament had (54) total entries, and ended with an official prize pool of $2,508.  The evening tournament ($75 No Limit Hold'em) also ended in a chop, as a deal was struck once the four players reached the money.  Markus Petteway (Pompano Beach, FL) headed the deal, earning himself $505, followed by Abimael Mathurin (2nd place), Leslie Hyde (3rd place), and Ginette Quevillon (4th place).

Tuesday's schedule offers up a full slate of action, starting with the "Limit Early Bird Promotion," paying out the first (50) full houses throughout the day.  The "Monster Stack" returns for the afternoon tournament, a $100 buy-in tournament that offers up a 25,000 starting stack, and a "major-ish" feeling structure with (20) minute levels.  Much of the focus is on the "nightly" tournament though, as it carries with it a $20,000 guaranteed prize pool.  Outside of a tournament series...or special "monthly event," it's rare to find a one-day tournament that offers a guarantee of that size.  It's becoming commonplace though at the Isle, as another event with a $25,000 guarantee is on the schedule for this week (Thursday PM).
