Monday, April 24th: "Structure Beast" Sure To Attract A Nice Sized Field

ICYMI: For the entire month of April, Sunday's have had the same tournament scheduled, a $150 No Limit Hold'em (two of which had $10,000 guaranteed prize pools).  Yesterday's event was one of those tournaments with a guarantee, and with a total of (84) entries, the prize pool officially ended up on the number ($10,000).  A total of of (11) spots were going to the make money in the event, and as the final table played down, things halted with three players remaining.  Discussion of a deal was put on the table, and the trio agreed to an even chop.

  1. Rafael Ramos (Cape Coral, FL) $2,129
  2. Ronald Campillo (Plantation, FL) $2,129
  3. David Albertson (Coral Springs, FL) $2,129
  4. Ross Hugues (Quebec, Canada) $820
  5. Walter West (Lantana, FL) $625
  6. Antonio Maldonado (Lantana, FL) $500
  7. Edward Mueller (Palm Beach Gardens, FL) $415
  8. Vincent Green (Boynton Beach, FL) $350
  9. Nader Bahur (Boca Raton, FL) $323
  10. Mustafa Lobut (N. Miami Beach, FL) $300
  11. Franklin Rojas (Plantation, FL) $280
Tournaments: The final Monday of the month sees two tournaments on the schedule, one of which is a very popular event with the Isle Poker loyal.  The only "Structure Beast" tournament of the month gets underway at 11:00am, which is a $150 No Limit Hold'em event with a great structure, and an $18,000 guarantee.  Players in the tournament sit down to starting stacks of 12,000 units, and while that may not sound "super-deep," the (30) minute levels allow for some great play throughout the day (including once the final table is reached).  

The evening event is the same it's been for each Monday this month, as the "Big Game Bounty Hunters" come out to play.  The $230 No Limit Hold'em w/ $100 Bounties tournament has quickly gained steam in terms of popularity with the players, and should see some overflow from players that busted the afternoon tournament in it's later stages.


Promotions: Outside of the "standard" high hand promotion, the weeks gets a "quick" start with "Turbo High Hands," offering $100 every (10) minutes from the period of 9:00am-12:00pm.  Rollovers do apply with this promotion (with each game in the house eligible), so it's not uncommon to see a player pick up anywhere from $100-$500 during the promotion.
