Wednesday, May 10th: "Spin To Win" Today, $100,000 GTD Begins Tomorrow

ICYMI: The Tuesday afternoon "Monster Stack" ($100 No Limit Hold'em $3,000 GTD) continued it's trend of strong showings yesterday, with (54) total entries bringing the official prize pool to $4,158.  A total of six spots were scheduled to be paid in the event, but once play got down to seven-handed, the players remaining agreed to a deal.  George Tardugno (Weston, FL) was the lucky recipient of the "bubble spot," and continues his strong tournament play as of late.  Posted below are the results from the deal, with a handful of notables to the Isle Poker Room earning their share of the prize pool.

1. Joseph Mancuso (Deerfield Beach, FL) $840
2. David Gallo (New Haven, CT) $782

The "Tuesday $12k" also continued to attract large field sizes and large prize pools, as a total of (268) entries made up yesterday's tournament.  The official prize pool of $13,416 eclipsed the $12,000 posted guarantee, and offered up a first place prize just over $3,000.  A total of (34) spots were paid in the event, with a list of familiar names recorded another Isle Poker tournament cash on their resume (Albert Efremoff, Hari Sukhu, David Moreno, and Rafael Rodriguez).  The final table was reached shortly before midnight, and after a handful of eliminations, a five-way deal was made to end the tournament.
