Sunday, August 13th: Saturday's $15,000 GTD Ends In A Healthy Eight-Way Chop, "Turbo High Hands" Highlight Sundays Action

ICYMI: The first of Saturday's two tournaments was the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" ($3,000 GTD), an event that attracted (41) total entries.  The field eclipsed the posted guarantee, with a prize pool of $2,327, and a bounty pool of $1,025.  The tournament would eventually end in a heads-up chop between Miguel Munoz and Fedner Oralien, two names that have frequented the daily tournament payouts as of late.

1. Miguel Munoz (Miami, FL) $842
2. Fedner Oralien (Lauderdale Lakes, FL) $600
3. Michael Sischo (Deerfield Beach, FL) $326
4. Danilo Parada (Oakland Park, FL) $233
5. Blaine McRae (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $186
6. Barry Teller (Tamarac, FL) $140

The big surprise from yesterday cam during the evening tournament ($120 No Limit Hold'em), which had a $15,000 guaranteed prize pool, but ended up soaring past that number.  A total of (261) entries made up the field, bringing the official prize pool to $22,185.  The payouts up top were very "healthy," with the top three payouts scheduled to make $5,058, $3,555, and $2,274.  With over $15,000 up for grabs at the final table alone, it was easy for the final eight players to agree to a deal, with everyone walking away with at least $1,291.

Tournaments: There is one event on the Sunday tournament schedule, with the $150 No Limit Hold'em event beginning at 11:00am.  The structure is one that offers deep play throughout the event, with players sitting down to 20,000 unit starting stacks, and playing (25) minute levels over the course of the day.

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.
