The evening tournament ($60 No Limit Hold'em $12,000 GTD) drew a total of (323) entries, and ended with an official prize pool well over $16,000. A total of (36) players made the money in that event, with the top six making a deal that wrapped up the event. This time, it would be Jean Chery (West Palm Beach, FL) declared the winner, adding $2,546 to his career live tournament earnings. Other notables names that were part of the deal were Robert Flacco (Ambler, PA), Hari Sukhu (Miramar, FL), and Irwin Block (Coconut Creek, FL).
Tournaments: There is one tournament on the schedule this evening, beginning at 6:00pm. The $150 No Limit Hold'em has a $10,000 guarantee, and has surpassed that number each Friday more months. It's the first of four events for the weekend, and is tied for the largest guarantee as well.
Promotions: Friday's throughout the month of March have the same schedule in regards to the high hand promotions, with "Turbo High Hands" getting things started. From the moment the doors open (at 9:00am), until 12:00pm, $100 will be awarded to the qualifying high hand every (10) minutes. This is one of the more exciting high hands promotions that are run, as "rollovers" are available, and there are many times that players will be vying for a two...three...or even four time rollover (worth $500). All games are eligible for this promotion.
The "Turbo High Hands" are followed by "High Hands Every 20 Minutes," with qualifying high hands worth $250 from 12:00pm-4:00pm, then transitioning to $500 from 4:00pm-12:00am. Once again, rollovers are available, and every game in the room is eligible.
