Monday, August 7th: "Survivor" Enters Afternoon Slot, $25,000 GTD In The Evening

ICYMI: Sunday's tournament action got underway at 11:00am, with the cards in the air for the $150 No Limit Hold'em "daily."  The intimate field was comprised of (19) entries, with a $2,185 prize pool spread across three payout spots.  First place was scheduled to earn $1,092, but once the money bubble burst, the final three players agreed to a deal (altering the post payouts).  Steve Zukowski (Coral Springs, FL) would be the tournament's "winner," taking home $900 for his efforts.  The win is nowhere near the largest cash on Zukowski's resume (which boasts earnings over $38,000), but it is his special in the fact that it's his third win listed on Hendon Mob.

1. Steve Zukowski (Coral Springs, FL) $900
2. Steven Cardanelli (Boynton Beach, FL) $643
3. Reginald Bautista (Orlando, FL) $642

The evening tournament was the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Hard Stop, ICM Chop," and event that's becoming very popular with the players.  The tournament (which begins at 6:00pm), has a "hard stop" time, at which point those remaining do an ICM chop.  The idea of playing in a tournament, and knowing that it won't keep anyone there late into the night, is clearly appealing to the Sunday evening players.  A total of (43) entries made up the field last night, which equated to a prize pool of $3,311.  A total of six spots were scheduled to get paid, but once the field reached the money bubble, a deal was agreed to, so nobody had to walk away empty handed.  FSPC Event #7 winner Diane Linke (Delray Beach, FL) earned first place money, and continues what's been a great six weeks of tournament poker.

1. Diane Linke (Delray Beach, FL) $729
2. Fred Alesi (Delray Beach, FL) $658
3. Seymour Weiner (Boca Raton, FL) $464
4. Patricia Conrad (Delray Beach, FL) $460
5. Raul Hernandez (West Palm Beach, FL) $375
6. Greg Noss (Miami, FL) $325
7. Michael Mundy (Boca Raton, FL) $300

Tournaments: While the $130 No Limit Hold'em ($25,000 GTD) event highlights Monday's tournament schedule, there is a new addition that players should be aware of.  Every Monday in August is a $120 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor," in which approximately 1 in 4 players will earn $400.  The tournament guarantees that there will be (3) $400 winners, but a larger field can see more players walk away with the score.  The tournament structure has players sitting down to starting stacks of 12,000 units, and playing levels of (20) minutes throughout.

Promotions: Outside of the "standard high hand" promotion, there will be "Turbo High Hands" from 9:00am-12:00pm.  During that window of time, $100 will be awarded to the qualifying high hand every (10) minutes (rollovers apply).
