Wednesday, March 22nd: Catlett Goes "Back-To-Back", "Spin To Win" Begins At Noon

Daniel Shortley (Lake Worth, FL)

ICYMI: There were two tournaments on the schedule yesterday, the first being the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD).  William Catlett (Lisbon, OH), who has made his name familiar to those following daily tournament results, won the event for the second week in a row.  The tournament, which had (38) entries and a $3,000 prize pool, did end in a four way deal...but it was Catlett's name on top of the results (earning $800).  Yesniel Pulido (Davie, FL) also took home $800 for his second place finish, along with Alfonso Perez (Coconut Creek, FL) for third ($800), and Robert Cavataio (Delray Beach, FL) rounding out the deal with $600 for fourth place.

The "Tuesday $10k," a $40 No Limit Hold'em ($10,000 GTD) tournament that always attracts huge fields, continued that trend last night.  A total of (338) entries joined in on the action, with the official prize pool having grown to $11,126.  A total of (36) spots got paid in the event, which ended in a twelve-way chop.  It's the second time in a week that we've seen one of these daily tournaments end in a deal that consisted of more than the final table.  Daniel Shortley (Lake Worth, FL) was the declared winner, taking home $1,545 for his "first place prize."  Maxton Habitzreuter (Pompano Beach, FL) also took home over four-figures for his "runnel-up" finish ($1,248), with Isle Poker notables Sahadeo Seenarraine (Tamarac, FL), Karen Rutherford (Meadville, PA), and Walter Swirsky (Delray Beach, FL) taking part in the chop as well.  Full results can be found listed in the "Week In Review" feature (posted next Monday), along with the "Daily Tournament Results" link on the righthand sidebar.

Promotions: The high hand promotions are in full swing from the moment the doors open this morning, with the "Turbo High Hands" ($100 awarded every 10 minutes from 9:00am-12:00pm, with rollovers) distributing money at a rapid pace.  The transition at 12:00pm begins the "Spin To Win" promotion, which awarded over $15,000 in promotional prize money last week (over a span of eleven hours).  It's the high hand promotion that makes all others jealous, and affords those that have a qualifying high hand (awarded every 30 minutes), an opportunity to spin the ever-popular "Money Wheel."  The total amount awarded...along with hourly breakdown, will be published tomorrow afternoon, here on the blog.

Tournaments: With much of the focus on the high hand promotions for the day, there is only one event on the tournament schedule.  At 6:00pm, the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" ($5,000 GTD) gets underway, offering up 18,000 chip starting stacks, and (15) minute levels throughout the event.  The tournament is a "green chip bounty," meaning players are awarded $25 for every elimination they get over the course of the event.
