Tuesday, March 21st: Jo Back On Top Again..."Monster Stack" And "Tuesday $10k" Headline Schedule

Adel Jo (Miami, FL)

ICYMI: Yesterday's afternoon event, the $80 No Limit Hold'em w/ $10 Bounties ($2,000 GTD), officially ended with (39) total entries ($1,958 prize pool).  The were four spots getting paid in the tournament, with the final table action playing down to an outright winner.  Scott Jaffa (Wayne, NJ) earned his first ever Isle Casino Poker tournament win, taking home $800 for his efforts.  Jaffa bested Gerald Blum (Boca Raton, FL) during heads-up play, with Blum earning $590 for the runner-up finish.  Rounding out the top four were David Gray (Pompano Beach, FL) in third place ($333), and William Catlett (Lisbon, OH) in fourth place ($235).

The evening event, a $230 No Limit Hold'em w/ $100 Bounties, also played down to an outright winner.  With (29) total entries and a $2,900 prize pool (bounties are not included in official prize fund), it would be Adel Jo (Miami, FL) returning to the winner's circle ($1,450).  It's Jo's third tournament win here at the Isle Poker Room (recorded on Hendon Mob), as well as his fourth final table of the year.  Adel also won the $100 No Limit Hold'em DeepStack Turbo event last month during the Battles At The Beach (Event 13 - $1,583).  There were only three spots paid in the tournament, with Patrick Lacoste (Hallandale Beach, FL) the runner-up ($870), and Maury Halperin (Lauderdale By The Sea, FL) finishing in third place ($580).

Tournaments: There are two tournaments on the schedule today, including one that has become the most popular event with the players.  The "Tuesday 10k" affords players the opportunity earn an incredible return on investment, shelling out only $40 for the buy-in.  The tournament has consistently attracted over (350-400) total entries, and tonight should be no different.  Last week's installment of the tournament had (384) total entries, and ended in an eleven-way chop, one of the first times we've seen more than the final table agree to a deal.  The afternoon event is the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack," which carries with it a $3,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Promotions: Today's promotion was so popular amongst players, that those playing no limit hold'em became somewhat envious (and have now been given their own day for the same promotion).  The Limit Hold'em Early Bird Promotion kicks off the moments the poker room doors open (9:00am), and award those playing any limit game the opportunity to earn the "table minimum" for a full house.  Players in the 2/2 LH will earn $20 for each full house, with those in the 2/4 LH receiving $40 for their full houses.
