Tuesday, June 27th: Efron And Jaffa Top Tournaments, Full Slate Of Promos And Tourneys

ICYMI: After a few weeks of "intimate" Monday afternoon crowds, yesterday's $80 No Limit Hold'em w/ $10 Bounties ($2,000 GTD) hosted a field of (40) total entries.  The $2,320 prize fund ($1,920 prize pool and $400 bounty pool) surpassed the posted guarantee, and offered up a first place prize just short of $800.  A total of five spots were scheduled to get paid, and after the money bubble burst, the remaining players began discussing a deal.  Once the numbers were agreed to, it would be Paul Efron (Coconut Creek, FL) earning top billing (and $516).  Efron, who has a resume with over $26,390 in earnings, locked up his first ever recorded win (on Hendon Mob).

1. Paul Efron (Coconut Creek, FL) $516
2. Arnold Cohen (West Palm Beach, FL) $458
3. William Reich (Pompano Beach, FL) $380
4. Leonard St. Germain (Southwest Ranches, FL) $292
5. Todd Kasten (Boynton Beach, FL) $274

Last night's evening time slot (6:00pm) would be filled by one of the many "special" tournaments of the month, a $60 No Limit Hold'em event with a $12,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The field would be comprised of (234) entries, which equated to the $12,000 prize pool.  A min-cash in the event saw players earning $83, while the posted first place prize stood at $2,808.  Numerous Isle Poker notables notched scores on their tournament resumes, including Michael Geller, Michele Milker, Linzell Borders, Danilo Parada, Irwin Block, and Domenico Barilla.  The final table would be reached just before midnight, with action continuing until play reached four-handed.  At that point, the players remaining agreed to a deal, with Scott Jaffa (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) the "declared winner."

2. Felix Sierra (Nashville, TN) $1,782
