Wednesday, May 17th: Lots Of Deal Making Yesterday, "Spin To Win" Looking For Jackpot Winners

ICYMI: The $100 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD) soared past the posted guarantee once again yesterday afternoon, as (52) entries made up the $4,004 prize pool.  Seven players from the final table were scheduled to make money in the event, with a min-cash worth $180, and first place taking home $1,482.  There would be a three-way deal agreed to after four final table eliminations, with the trio each taking home $968.  Jeffrey Silverstein (Delray Beach, FL) sees his name in the first place slot (when submitted to Hendon Mob), as he continues to see his earnings move closer to $150,000 lifetime.  Posted below are the results from the "Monster Stack:"

1. Jeffrey Silverstein (Delray Beach, FL) $968
2. Daniel Reitberg (Lauderdale Lakes, FL) $968
3. Edward Headley (Altamonte Springs, FL) $968
4. George Tardugno (Weston, FL) $380
5. Myrna Albert (Boca Raton, FL) $300
6. Raul Jiminez (Homestead, FL) $240
7. Arnold Cohen (West Palm Beach, FL) $180

The evening tournament ($60 No Limit Hold'em $12,000 GTD) also saw the prize pool cruise past the guaranteed number, as (352) entries made up a whopping $17,564 prize pool.  It's one of the largest fields we've seen for this particular tournament, which has really become the "don't miss" event on the daily schedule.  A total of (44) spots were schedule to reach the money, with a min-cash bring home $90, and a scheduled $3,728 up top.  The word "scheduled" is used so often because of the frequency of chops in these nightly events, with last night's tournament making a deal with nine players remaining.  Seymour Field (Coral Springs, FL), who requested that his picture not be taken, took home top billing with a $1,993 payday.  The cash is over three times his career earnings coming into the event, and almost eclipsed the lifetime number in itself.  Posted below are the results from the deal, with full payouts posted in next week's "Week In Review" feature.

1. Seymour Field (Coral Springs, FL) $1,993
2. Hari Sukhu (Miramar, FL) $1,673
3. Scott Di Benedetto (Boca Raton, FL) $1,598
4. David Price (Boynton Beach, FL) $1,523
5. Paula Abend (Delray Beach, FL) $1,480
6. Adam Wagner (West Palm Beach, FL) $1,041
7. Victor Berny (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $977
8. James Orleans (Boca Raton, FL) $959
9. Alexander Goodrich (Hillsboro Beach, FL) $830

Tournaments: With the "Spin To Win" high hand promotion garnering much of the attention this afternoon, there is only one tournament on the schedule tonight ($100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" w/ $25 Bounties $5,000 GTD).  Last week's installment of the event had (51) total entries, and played down to an outright winner, with Danilo Parada (Oakland Park, FL) hoisting the proverbial "trophy." ($1,417).

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.
