ICYMI: "Spin to Win:" Money Wheel Results (March 22nd)

From 12:00pm-11:00pm yesterday, the "Spin To Win" high hand promotion was running, one of the most popular poker promotions you'll find in the state (as well as one of the richest).  The player with the "winning" high hand from each half hour is awarded an opportunity to spin the "money wheel," which sits located in the "stage area" of the poker room, closest to the cashier.  There are over (70) different slots on the wheel, all with different monetary amounts.  The "major" amounts that can be won are $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, and $5,000.  If (and only if) the high hand that qualifies is a royal flush, the $5,000 "Jackpot' slice is worth $25,000.  Posted below are all of the results from yesterday's promotion (along with the game the player was playing):

Thursday, March 23rd: "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" Chops Evenly, "Thursday $12k" Headlines Schedule

ICYMI: With the "Spin To Win" promotion garnering much of the attention yesterday, there was one tournament on the schedule ($100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" $5,000 GTD).  The event attracted a total of (77) entries, and finished with an official prize pool of $4,404 (excluding bounties).  Eight spots were getting paid, and after one elimination in the money (Linzell Borders in 8th place), the remaining seven players agreed to an even chop (as close to even as possible).  David Goldfarb (Boca Raton, FL) was the declared winner, and earned a few more dollars than the rest of the group ($609).  The rest of the players involved in the deal earned themselves $606: Joseph Verrasto, Christian Humphries, Allen Levine, James Podwika, John Costello, and Michael Gaigelas.

Promotions: After an incredible day of wheel spins yesterday, and (15) hours of "special" high hand promotions coming up tomorrow, today is more of a "light day," in terms of high hand promotions.  From 9:00am-12:00am, the "standard" high hand promotion will be in place, awarding qualifying high hands every (30) minutes across that time period (rollovers are live).  The No Limit Hold'em Early Bird Promotion will run coinciding to start the day, as the first (50) full houses earn $60, with only those playing in a no limit cash game eligible.

Tournaments: There are two tournaments on the schedule today, beginning at 11:00am with the $80 No Limit Hold'em w/ $10 Bounties ($2,000 GTD).  That tournament is followed this evening with the increasingly popular $60 No Limit Hold'em $12,000 GTD, getting underway at 6:00pm.
