The $15,000 prize pool offered up a tournament min-cash of $353, as well as a first place prize of $4,497. Players reached the money around 5:00pm, and after four eliminations, the field was redrawing for the final table. Almost every player at the final table was a name followers of the blog would recognize, and after four eliminations, players would agree to a six-way chop. Earning first place money, and quickly putting Sunday night's unfortunate luck behind him, was Raminder Singh (Delray Beach, FL). Less than (24) hours before the deal was being discussed, Singh was getting it in with pocket aces versus pocket tens, only to lose the hand. Winning that pot at the "May $100,000 GTD" final table would have likely locked up a top two finish for Singh, but he put that behind him, and returned stronger than ever last night.

Tournaments: There are two tournaments on the daily schedule once again, starting a 11:00am with the $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD), which has steadily become the most popular daytime event of the week. The field sizes have ranged from 45-65 in the past month, with players realizing how good of a value the event really is (25,000 starting stack and 20 minute levels).
That tournament is then followed at 6:00pm by the $60 No Limit Hold'em ($12,000 GTD), also known at the "Tuesday $12k." One of...if not, the premier tournaments on the schedule, this event usually sees field sizes above (350-400) players.
Promotions: Outside of what we like to refer to as the "standard high hand" promotion, today's promotion calendar feature the "Early Bird Limit Hold'em" special. This promotion sees those players, only playing limit hold'em, earn money for each full house they have (it's required that the hand also wins the pot). Those playing 2/2 LHE will earn $20 for each full house, while those playing 2/4 LHE will earn $40 for each full house.
11:00am - $100 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD)
- Players start with 25,000 in tournament chips
- Late and re-entries for the first (8) levels
- Alternates and late entries will start with a full stack
- Level will last (20) minutes throughout the event
6:00pm - $60 No Limit Hold'em ($12,000 GTD)
- Players will begin with a 12,000 starting stack
