Wednesday, June 27th: Fred Dabus Ships Last Night's $20,000 GTD, Just Days After Chopping The $360 NLH ($50,000 GTD)

ICYMI: Tuesday's tournament schedule kicked of with an $80 No Limit Hold'em event, which had a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The field would eventually close with (30) total entries, and an official prize pool of $2,000.  Six players were scheduled to reach the money, and as we've seen many times before in afternoon events, the action stopped right after the money bubble burst.  Player immediately agreed to a deal at that time, with everyone earning at least $250.  The official results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Gerald Hertz (Pompano Beach, FL) $463
2. Marc Brown (Miami, FL) $407
3. Richard Barboza (Boca Raton, FL) $336
4. Marc Bernstein (Delray Beach, FL) $333
5. Daniel Genachte (Deerfield Beach, FL) $211
6. Edward Russell (Pompano Beach, FL) $250

The headlining event of the day was the evening tournament, which was a $175 No Limit Hold'em tournament, with a $20,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The posted number would be surpassed long before registration closed, with the field growing to (167) entries.  The $22,879 prize pool would be spread across (21) pay spots, with numerous Isle Poker notables adding cashes to their resumes.  Names like Matthew Vitale, Michael Bonsignore, Carlos Torres Vazquez, Thomas Gary, and Prang In, all booked respectable results in the event.  The final table also included recognizable names, especially the one that ended up winning the tournament outright.  Frederico Dabus (Doral, FL), coming off his chop of the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) just days ago, shipped the event for $6,081.  Results from the final table are listed below, with official results from the event posted on Hendon Mob later this afternoon.
