Wednesday, February 1st: New Month...Same Great Promo, "Spin To Win" Headlines Day

February may be the shortest month on the calendar, but there will surely be no shortage of action in the Isle Casino Poker Room.  The "February Poker Calendar" has a revamped daily tournament schedule, a $5,000 "Free Roll," the top high hand promotions in the area, along with the beginning of the 2017 Battle At The Beach.

While today starts off with the "Turbo High Hand" promotions, and finishes with the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty ($5,000 GTD), the focus will be on what's sandwiched between the two...the "Spin To Win" high hand promotion.  The "money wheel" became a favorite of the players the moment it was introduced, but last month brought things to a new high.  the wheel yielded $5,000 winners week after week in January...and that was just the beginning.  There were numerous winners over $1,000 each Wednesday, as January 2017 became the richest "Spin To Win" month since it's inception.  The wheel will be spinning from 12:00pm-11:00pm, with the qualifying hand from each half hour earning the opportunity to win up to $5,000 ($25,000 if high hand is royal flush).

January's tournament action concluded with two events yesterday, the first being the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack."  The $3,000 guaranteed prize pool tournament attracted a total of (44) entries, and an official prize pool of $3,388.  Once players reached the money, the final five players agreed to a chop, with Martin Kaplan (West Palm Beach, FL) earning the "winner's share" ($875).  The "Tuesday $10K" ($40 No Limit Hold'em $10,000 GTD) had a field of (383) entries, and officially ended up with a prize pool of $12,801.  The posted first place prize for the tournament was $3,461, another incredible return on a $40 investment.  The tournament once again ended in a multi-way chop, with George Barbarino (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) heading the seven-way deal.  His winner's share was worth $2,210, George's largest recorded tournament cash to date.  Some other Isle Poker notables included in the deal were Danielle Bastarache (2nd Place), Barry Chazen (4th Place), and Stephen Bromfield (5th Place).
