Tuesday, January 30th: Angel Anglero Notches First Tournament Win, Preparing To Get "Over The Hump"

ICYMI: After a weekend of multi-flight action, the tournament schedule returned to the standard "daily events," beginning with a $120 No Limit Hold'em "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" ($3,000 GTD).  The field was comprised of (38) entries, which equated to an official prize pool of $2,971 (bounties not included).  A total of six players were scheduled to get paid, with action playing down to three-handed play, at which point a deal was made.  Peter Tornabene (Boca Raton, FL) headed the deal, taking home $647 for first place money.  Listed below are the official results from the tournament:
  1. Peter Tornabene (Boca Raton, FL) $647
  2. Michael Spadafore (Boynton Beach, FL) $624
  3. Arlene Vasquez (Parkland, FL) $598
  4. Alan Dobrow (Melville, NY) $469
  5. Stanton Drazin (Boynton Beach, FL) $361
  6. Juan Madrid (Margate, FL) 
The "Big Stack Turbo Bounty" was followed by a $130 No Limit Hold'em event, which had a $10,000 posted guarantee.  After registration's close, a total of (85) entries made up the field, meaning that the prize pool would spread $10,000 over eleven posted pay spots.  Unlike many of the evening events, last night's tournament played down to an outright winner, with Angel Anglero (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) besting Wilson Alfonso (Colombia) during heads-up play.  After a tournament career with (14) recorded results, and over $18,500 in earnings, Anglero notched his first ever tournament win.  Full results from the event are listed below"
