ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament action began with the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" ($3,000 GTD).  A total of (42) entries made up the $3,374 prize pool, with six spots scheduled to reach the money.  While first place was scheduled to receive $907, the tournament's eventual winner (Francois Gagne) earned $807 after chopping heads-up with Robert Zuckerman.

5. Joseph Mancuso (Deerfield Beach, FL) $186

The evening event was not a "standard" tournament, as the $75 No Limit Hold'em FSPC Main Event Satellite signified the "unofficial" beginning of the 2017 Florida State Poker Championship.  Five seats were guaranteed into the series' highlighting event, with the following players booking tickets to the proceedings:

1. Maan Thakur
2. Stephen Plant
3. Allan Vineberg
4. Anna Dikker
5. Amit Savani

Tournaments: There is one tournament on the schedule this Sunday, a $150 No Limit Hold'em event with a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool.  Players can be sure they're getting great value when they enter, as the structure starts them with 20,000 units, and levels that last (25) minutes throughout the event.  This same tournament has frequented the Sunday afternoon time slot, and has seen a strong crowd each week, varying with the size of the guarantee.
