Wednesday night's $130 No Limit Hold'em tournament saw (94) entries make up the field that was battling it out for their share of a $10,000 prize pool. A total of twelve spots were scheduled to get paid in the event, with a min-cash worth $250, and first place looking to take home $3,173. There were many familiar names in the field, but once the money was reached, only a few of those notables remained. Isle Poker "favorite" Luke Rosenberg (Parkland, FL) found himself listed in the payouts for the first time in a while, finishing in fifth place ($600). Right after Rosenberg's elimination, the remaining four players began discussing a deal, and ended up agreeing to a chop. Oleg Efremov (Oakland Park, FL) would be the "declared winner," and would follow in LoBianco's footsteps from earlier in the day, earning his first ever recorded cash.

Tournaments: There is one tournament on the schedule today, an evening event that begins at 6:00pm ($75 No Limit Hold'em $5,000 GTD). The tournament's structure offers players a starting stack of 15,000 units, and levels of (20) minutes throughout the event.
Promotions: The weekend kicks off with a day that's full of bonus high hands, starting the moment the doors open. From 9:00am-12:00pm, $100 will be awarded every (10) minutes to qualifying high hands, with rollovers. This promotion is very exciting, as we've seen rollovers that are worth between $500-$1,000 on a consistent basis.
That period is followed by some "richer" high hands, with $250 awarded every (20) minutes from 12:00pm-4:00pm, and $500 awarded every (20) minutes from 4:00pm-12:00am. Rollovers apply with this promotion as well, but with so many tables in play, it's not something that happens as often.
