1. Susan Steinberg (Hollywood, FL) $855
2. Fred Alesi (Delray Beach, FL) $522

4. Patricia Conrad (Delray Beach, FL) $229
5. Joseph Mancuso (Deerfield Beach, FL) $167

The Labor Day weekend action closed with a $130 No Limit Hold'em event, which attracted a field of (24) entries.  The $2,328 prize pool also boasted a first place prize of $1,164, but things never got that far, as a three handed deal was reached to end the event.

1. Lawrence Smith (Jacksonville, FL) $900
2. Juan Garaza (Pompano Beach, FL) $550
3. Joakim Dag (Pompano Beach, FL) $350
4. Brent Kopycinski (Plano, TX) $275
5. Francklin Michel (Miramar, FL) $253

Tournaments: "Tournament Tuesday" begins at 11:00am with the $100 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD), a tournament that has only grown in popularity in the recent weeks.  The "player-friendly" structure offers starting stacks of 25,000 units, with levels that last (20) minutes throughout the event.

Promotions: It's all about getting to the poker room early on Tuesdays (and Thursdays), as the "Early Bird Full House" promotion offers an awarded cash prize (depending on game plated) for the first (50) full houses of the day (in live cash games).  That promotion is followed by $300 high hands every (15) minutes, from the hours of 12:00pm-4:00pm.
