Tuesday, June 12th: "Early Birds" Ready To Make Full Houses, With A Combined $5,000 In Tournament Guarantees

ICYMI: After five days dedicated to the $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD), Monday was the return to a full day of recurring events.  The schedule hosted two $80 No Limit Hold'em ($2,500 GTD) tournaments, with the first getting underway at 11:00am.  The afternoon field would grow to (36) entries, with the prize pool officially closing at $2,500.  Five players were scheduled to reach the money, with the action pausing once the money bubble burst.  A deal would be made at that point, with everyone walking away with at least $634.  The official numbers from the chop are posted below:
  1. Daniel Diamond (Plantation, FL) $634
  2. Marc Roth (Plantation, FL) $605
  3. Joseph Mancuso (Pompano Beach, FL) $506
  4. Todd Kasten (Lake Worth, FL) $403
  5. Alan Werner (Cooper City, FL) $352
The evening installment of the $80 No Limit Hold'em ($2,500 GTD) saw registration close with (28) entries, and another official prize pool of $2,500.  Four players were scheduled to reach the money, but we would see our second five-way deal of the day, after players agreed to a chop on the money bubble.  Niel Warner (Pompano Beach, FL) took first place in the deal, earning $623 for his efforts.  Official details of the deal are posted below:
  1. Neil Warner (Pompano Beach, FL) $623
  2. Danny Blackburn (Deerfield Beach, FL) $549
  3. Donald Gordon (Boynton Beach, FL) $506
  4. Robert Lovett (Boynton Beach, FL) $417
  5. David Padilla (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $405
Tournaments:  Tuesday's tournament action begins (at 11:00am) with a $100 No Limit Hold'em event, which has a $2,500 guaranteed prize pool.  The tournament is structured with 14,000 unit starting stacks, and levels that last (20) minutes.  Registration is open through Level 8, allowing players to join the action up until just before 2:00pm.

The evening time slot (6:00pm) hosts an $80 No Limit Hold'em event, which sees the $2,500 guaranteed prize pool return.  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: Tuesday's promotions start with the every-popular Full House Early Bird, with the first (25) full houses awarded up to $60.  The amount won depends on which game is being played, as 2/2 Limit Hold'em players earn $20 (for each full house while eligible), 2/4 Limit Hold'em players earning $40 (for each full house while eligible), and $60 for those playing: 1/2 No Limit Hold'em, 2/5 No Limit Hold'em, 5/10 No Limit Hold'em, 3/6 Limit Hold'em, and 8/16 O.E.

The standard high hands begin at 10:00am (because off the full house promotion), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes. During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible 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).
