Friday, May 11th: With the Weekend Starting, Focus Is On Tomorrow's $360 NLH ($30,000 GTD)

ICYMI: With the popularity of the O.E. game in the poker room (Omaha 8B/Stud 8B Hi/Lo), yesterday's showing for the afternoon tournament was no surprise.  The $150 Omaha 8B/Stud 8B Hi/Lo ($2,500 GTD) event saw registration close with (29) entries, which cruised past the guarantee, with an official prize pool of $3,248.  The event would end in  deal, with poker veteran Avi Levy (Coral Springs, FL) stepping away from the cash games for a moment.  Official results from the event are posted below:
  1. Avi Levy (Coral Springs, FL) $875
  2. Timothy Patres (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $810
  3. Robert Left (Opa Locka, FL) $766
  4. Robert Hamilton (Lake Worth, FL) $431
  5. Theodore Sobo (Boynton Beach, FL) $366
The evening time slot was filled by a $150 No Limi Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty," which also attracted a nice sized field.  Registration would close after Level 8 (and the break that followed), with the tournament clock showing (39) entries.  The $2,418 prize pool was scheduled to be paid out across four spots, but action never ended up reaching that point.  Players would agree to a five-way deal, with Robert Kuznietz taking the top spot.  Details of the chop are listed below:
  1. Robert Kuznietz (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $486
  2. Tri Nguyen (Delray Beach, FL) $483
  3. Lavaro Ferguson (Ormond Beach, FL) $483
  4. Amit Savani (Miami, FL) $483
  5. Robert Schafer (Sunrise, FL) $483
Tournaments: Three tournaments make up the day's schedule once again, beginning at 11:00am with the $120 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack."  The tournament is structured with 25,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (20) minutes over the course of the afternoon.  Registration is open through Level 8, and the break that follows.  

At 2:00pm, we see the third of four $90 No Limit Hold'em Satellites into this Saturday's $360 No Limit Hold'em ($30,000 GTD).  The satellite guarantees two seats into the event, and is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, with (20) minute levels.  Registration for the satellite is open through Level 8 (around 5:00pm).

The final event of the day, which gets underway at 6:00pm, is an $80 No Limit Hold'em tournament. The tournament is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, as well as (20) minute levels.  Registration is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), meaning those interested in joining, can enter up until 9:00pm.

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 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).
