Thursday, February 9th: $25,000 GTD "Nightly" Headlines Schedule

After the success of Tuesday night's evening event ($130 No Limit Hold'em $20,000 GTD), tournament players were immediately shifting their focus to tonight's scheduled event.  The day starts with the "No Limit Early Bird Promotion," offering an immediate payout of $60 for the first (50) full houses of the day.  Then, beginning at 11:00am, is the first of two tournaments on the schedule for the day ($80 No Limit Hold'em w/ $10 Bounties $2,000 GTD).  Just as the afternoon tournament is winding down, registration will open for the event players have been looking forward to since the monthly calendar was released ($130 No Limit Hold'em $25,000 GTD).  Tuesday's "nightly" beat the guarantee by over $10,000, so a field of over (300) entries should be expected for tonight.

Sandwiched between two night's of massive guarantees, we had last night's "PM" event, a $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Bounty" w/ $25 Bounties ($5,000 GTD) tournament.  Registration closed with a total of (60) entries, with eight players scheduled to make up the payouts.  After the eliminations of Larry Rheinschmidt (8th place) and Patrick Ryan (7th place), the remaining six players agreed to a deal.  Jared Carter (Pompano Beach, FL) was the recipient of the "winner's share," walking away with $587.
