Since making himself familiar with blog followers last October, Pedro Palacio (Delray Beach, FL) found himself taking first place (and earning the lion's share) in a deal that ended the afternoon event on Monday, April 10th. That was followed by Jason Young's (Suffern, NY) first recorded tournament win since January of 2009.

There was elevated attendance in Tuesday, April 11th's afternoon event, one of the better structured "day" events on the schedule. The $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD) tournament drew a field of (60) total entries, and ended in an eight-way deal, with Thomas Gari (Hollywood, FL) taking the top spot. The evening event continued it'a trend of crushing the guarantee, as a field of (292) entries officially gave us a prize pool of $14,764 (almost $3,000 over the $12,000 guarantee).

The $100 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) event is a "Big Stack Turbo Bounty," so the payouts you see below don't include the bounties earned by each player (for having eliminated someone from the field).
