Yesterday's tournament schedule introduced players to a "new" addition to the schedule, with the $240 No Limit Hold'em w/ $50 Bounties event. The tournament carried with it a $15,000 guaranteed prize pool, and ended up attracting a total of (89) entries. Enrique Perez (Miami, FL) would be the inaugural "Big Bounty" winner, earning $3,583 in a three-way deal with Kevin Talty (East Willston, NY) and Craig Browne (Ft. Lauderdale, FL). The tournament paid out nine spots, with Isle Poker regulars Robert Transue (5th Place) and Tom Gity (6th Place) notching another tournament cash.
