Friday, February 16th: Weekend Starts In A Big Way, With A $50,000 Guaranteed Multi

ICYMI: Thursday's tournament action started at 11:00am, with a tournament of the non-no limit hold'em variety.  The $150 H.O.R.S.E. attracted numerous players that love "all of the games," with (26) entries making up the field.  The $2,500 guarantee number was surpassed early in the registration period, officials closing with $2,912 in the prize pool.  Michelle Erb (Boca Raton, FL) ended up taking home first place money, in a deal that ended the event short of it's natural conclusion.  Listed below are the full results from the event: 
  1. Michelle Erb (Boca Raton, FL) $823
  2. Bruce Smith (West Palm Beach, FL) $665
  3. Gernie Moorehead (Lake Worth, FL) $587
  4. Allen Greene (Weston, FL) $524
  5. Kerry Kicklighter (Jupiter, FL) $313
After the players were done "horsing around," the no limit action returned at 6:00pm, with players arriving for the $150 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty" ($5,000 GTD).  Once again, the posted guarantee would be just a formality, as registration closed with (64) entries.  The official prize pool of $3,968 (with a $3,200 bounty pool) was spread across seven pay spots, with first place scheduled to take home $1,432.  The action would play down to the point where Cindy Radnovich and Robert Tanner were heads-up, with a deal being made, making Radnovich the "declared winner." Listed below are the full results from the event:
  1. Cindy Radnovich (Deerfield Beach, FL) $1,309
  2. Robert Tanner (Wellington, FL) $1,000
  3. Thomas Allard (Royal Oak, MI) $571
  4. Brandon Markland (Orlando, FL) $397
  5. Danny Blackburn (Deerfield Beach, FL) $290
  6. Steve Varela (Coral Springs, FL) $222
  7. Edward Rappa (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $179
Tournaments: The tournament schedule sees some a little "different" this weekend, as today starts the month's second multi, which has just one pair of starting flights.  The $250 No Limit Hold'em event carries a $50,000 guarantee, with an afternoon (11:00am) and evening (6:00pm) flight for players to try and bag chips in.  The tournament is structured with 18,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (40) minutes over the course of the event.  Each flight will play through Level 10, with registration open throughout the flight, and until the first hand is dealt for tomorrow's Day 2 (at 12:00pm).  The chip lead bonus also returns (in a big way), as the top ten chip counts after both flights have been completed, with earn entry in the $275 No Limit Hold'em Satellite that runs on February 21st (into the $2,500 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante).

Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am (midnight), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes.  During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible (Isle Open events not eligible for high hand) each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.  From 12:00am-9:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.

It should also be noted that started back on November 1st, players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand!!!  The payouts for those that use one card are different than the standard numbers listed above, and can be found (full listing of one-card payouts on flyers in the poker room).
