Saturday, April 15th: Friday Night Was "Ladies Night," Two Tournament Slate

ICYMI: It was all about the ladies in last night's tournament ($150 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD), as Jane Forsythe (West Palm Beach, FL) and Erin Coley (Lake Worth, FL) chopped up the event.  A total of (77) entries made up the $10,000 prize pool, with eight spots getting paid...$360 for a min-cash and $3,500 up top.  A couple of Isle tournament poker notables were at the final table, but couldn't come between the destiny that was the heads up deal that occurred:

1. Jane Forsythe (West Palm Beach, FL) $2,795
2. Erin Coley (Lake Worth, FL) $2,795
3. Dylan Drazen (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,370
4. Jeffrey Liu (Coconut Creek, FL) $970
5. Edgar Mendes (Deerfield Beach, FL) $720
6. Hugh Coley (Lake Worth, FL) $550
7. Mark Shupienis (Stuart, FL) $440
8. Seymour Weiner (Boca Raton, FL) $360

It should be noted that this is the second time in a week that a "family" combo has reached the final table of one of the weekly events (Eric and Hugh Coley).
