The evening tournament, which was a $230 No Limit Hold'em "Deep Stack Bounty" w/ $100 Bounties, began at 6:00pm. The tournament's prize pool once registration closed was $1,200 (plus $1,200 bounty pool), and would see three spots scheduled to make money. Once again, the players would wait for one elimination in the money (James McCaffery, 3rd Place - $240), before agreeing to a deal. John McCann (Philadelphia, PA) was the declared winner in the heads-up chop, earning himself $500, while Myles German (Boca Raton, FL) took home $460 for his runner-up finish.
Tournaments: There are once again two tournaments on the daily schedule today, with the first beginning at 11:00am. The $100 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD) offers those in the tournament some deep play, as the starting stack is 25,000 in chips. William Catlett (Lisbon, OH) has won this event two weeks in a row, so it will be interesting to see if he's in the field, looking for a three-peat.
Most of the attention will be focused on this evening's event though, the "Tuesday $10k," which begins at 6:00pm. The $40 No Limit Hold'em ($10,000 GTD) event gets well over (300) entries on a consistent basis, and offers players the potential for an incredible ROI (return on investment). The posted first place prize for the tournament is usually over $3,500, which is over (80) buy-ins!!!
Promotions: Outside of the "standard high hand" promotion that runs from 9:00am-3:00am (while the poker room is open), today's promotion is the Limit Hold'em Early Bird Promotion. If you're a limit hold'em player, today is the day you circle on your calendar, as the first (50) full houses get paid a promotional amount (depending on what limit game you are playing).
