Thursday, January 26th: $25,000 GTD Event Highlights Thursday's Schedule

Thursday's poker room schedule starts with the "Early Bird Limit Hold'em" promotion, and while the the $80 No Limit Hold'em w/ $10 Bounties follows, it's the evening tournament that's getting all of the attention.  The $130 No Limit Hold'em tournament begins at 6:00pm, and carries with it the largest guarantee of the month (of tournaments not part of the Isle Poker Classic).  The $25,000 guarantee should yield a first place prize over $7,000, a number that players would be hard pressed to find in other "daily" events.

The "bounty hunters" were out in force last night, for the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo" w/ $25 Bounties event, the only tournament on Wednesday's "daily schedule."  The tournament attracted a total of (70) entries, of which seven would end up making the money.  There were no deals made at this final table, as Linzell Borders (Tamarac, FL) bested Daniel Nucci (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) heads-up to win $1,432.  The win was the largest live tournament cash of Linzell's career, and mean his career earnings are now north of $4,500.
