ICYMI: Sunday's tournament action started with a $120 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($2,000 GTD), which got underway at 11:00am.  After eight levels of registration, the event would close with (28) total entries, and an official prize pool of $2,716.  Four players were scheduled to reach the money, and after the money bubble burst, we'd see a three-way deal post Bernie Boudle's elimination.  The full results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Pedro Perez (Miami, FL) $838
2. Roland Trocher (West Palm Beach, FL) $826
3. Francois Gagne (Hillsboro Beach, FL) $753
4. Bernie Boudle (Davie, FL) $299

The "Monster Stack" was followed by a $120 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo Bounty," which had a $2,500 guaranteed prize pool.  A total of (27) entries would make up the field, and after the optional add-ons were included into the official number, the prize pool would close at $2,684 (bounties included).  The event ended in a heads-up chop, with Aleksey Kishirin (Russia) the "declared winner."  Aleksey has now won back-to-back evening tournaments, after heading a deal that ended last night's $150 No Limit Hold'em ($15,000 GTD).  The details of last night's tournament are listed below:

1. Aleksey Kishirin (Russia) $774

The evening tournament is an $80 No Limit Hold'em event with a $2,500 guaranteed prize pool.  The structure sees players sitting down to starting stacks of 12,000 units, with levels that last (20) minutes over the course of the night.  There is an optional add-on at the end of registration (Level 8), with $20 seeing a return of 10,000 units (100% of add-on money goes towards the prize pool).
