Monday, May 1st: Agrachov Claims Trophy In Deal, May Schedule Is Upon Us

Dmitry Agrachov - "April $100,000 GTD" Winner
ICYMI: Just before midnight last night, (12) players remained in the $360 No Limit Hold'em Deep Stack $100,000 GTD.  As advertised, the stacks were super deep (event at that stage), with a (30-35) blind chip average amongst those playing at the final two tables.  Once the Tournament Supervisor announced that players would be bagging chips at the end of Level 28 (12:30am), rumblings of a potential chop began.  Some player's schedules conflicted with a Day 3 (which would have been today at 1:00pm), and while there were some against a chop, and agreement was made once the ICM numbers were run.  Dmitry Agrachov (Weston, FL) was the chip leader at the time of the deal discussions, and would be awarded first place money (and the trophy), worth over $20,000.  The rest of the payouts were as followed:

  1. Dmitry Agrachov (Weston, FL) $20,363
  2. Dave Gelley (Boca Raton, FL) $15,418
  3. Justin Levy (Coconut Creek, FL) $15,360
  4. William Underdown (Deerfield Beach, FL) $14,517
  5. Juan Rodriguez (Boca Raton, FL) $14,013
  6. Carlos Torres (Weston, FL) $12,582
  7. Erik Silevitch (Andover, MA) $10,845
  8. Esther Foley (Tamarac, FL) $10,203
  9. Chris Zollo (Seaford, DE) $9,363
  10. Jim Hamburger (Delray Beach, FL) $8,809
  11. David Inselberg (New York, NY) $8,147
  12. John Page (Wellington, FL) $7,586
Tournaments: There are two tournaments on the schedule to start the month, one of which is new to the "daily schedule."  The afternoon event is staying the same, the $80 No Limit Hold'em w/ $10 Bounties ($2,000 GTD) that begins at 11:00am.  The next tournament is taking the place of what was the $230 No Limit Hold'em w/ $100 Bounties event, and is a $75 No Limit Hold'em tournament.  Players enter the evening event with starting stacks of 15,000 units, and play (20) minute levels throughout the event.

Promotions: Outside of the "standard" high hand promotion, the weeks gets a "quick" start with "Turbo High Hands," offering $100 every (10) minutes from the period of 9:00am-12:00pm.  Rollovers do apply with this promotion (with each game in the house eligible), so it's not uncommon to see a player pick up anywhere from $100-$500 during the promotion.
