Sunday, June 18th: Saturday Story-lines, Happy Father's Day To All The Dads!!

ICYMI: Yesterday's tournament action began at 11:00am, with the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty," an event with a $3,000 guaranteed prize pool.  A field of (33) total entries made up the prize pool ($2,175 prize pool and $825 bounty pool).  Five players would reach the money in the event, and once action reached that point, the play continued on.  It's wasn't until Zakaraya Wolgamott and John Reslow were heads-up, that discussions of a chop ensued.  A deal would eventually be struck between the two players, with the "Gentle Giant" (Wolgamott) receiving first place honors (and first place money).

1. Zakaraya Wolgamott (Columbus, OH) $750
2. John Reslow (Delray Beach, FL) $686
3. Jeff Zwerin (Naples, FL) $326
4. Robert Zwerin (Naples, FL) $239
5. Phillip Tuttle (Delray Beach, FL) $174

For the second time in the month of June, the Saturday evening tournament slot would be filled by the $120 No Limit Hold'em ($8,000 GTD) event.  The field was comprised of (113) total entries, which equated to prize pool just over $9,600.  There were (15) places scheduled to be paid, with a min-cash in the tournament worth $216, and $2,833 up top.  Some familiar names that reached the money (but fell short of the final table), were Linzell Borders (Tamarac, FL) and Gary Fitzgerald (Miami, FL).  The final table hosted some notable players as well, and the eventually became pieces of what would be a ten-way chop.  Sharon Pickard (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) earned her first ever "tournament win," and would almost match her career (recorded) earnings with this one cash.

1. Sharon Pickard (Ft. Lauaderdale, FL) $1,289
2. Tina Tellone (Sunrise, FL) $1,000
3. David Aronson (Hallandale, FL) $914
4. David Kahan (Boca Raton, FL) $904
5. Derek Felbinger (Boca Raton, FL) $861
6. Elliot Goldman (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $783
7. Michael Dotson (Jupiter, FL) $750
8. Hosney Boutros (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $743
9. Fausto Terisgni (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $674
10. Alain Alvarado (Miami, FL) $539

Tournaments: With today being Father's Day, there is only one tournament on the daily schedule, a $150 No Limit Hold'em event that begins at 12:00pm.  Players in the event sit down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, and will be playing (25) minutes throughout.

Promotions: For a number of months, Sunday's high hand promotion has been of the "turbo" format, with $300 awarded every (15) minutes from 2:00pm-9:00pm (rollovers apply).  While that promotion is still in place this afternoon, there will be an extra six hours of "turbo" high hands, with $100 awarded every (10) minutes, from 8:00am-2:00pm (rollovers apply).  However you break it down, it's $600 worth of high hands up for grabs over the span of (13) hours.  Both tournaments are high hand eligible, adding even more appeal to the events.
