Monday, February 26th: Kicking Off The Final Week Of February

ICYMI: Sunday's tournament schedule had a little wrinkle in it, as the afternoon time slot did not host an event.  The day's only tournament started at 6:00pm, and was a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo Bounty," which had a $3,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The event attracted a total of (52) entries, which equated to a $4,004 prize pool (not including bounties).  Six places were scheduled to get paid out, but once action reached the money bubble, the remaining players agreed to a deal.  Matthew Meeuwen (Lake Worth, FL) was the recipient of the extra spot (seventh place), and earned $180 for his efforts.  Henry Reyes (Lehigh Acres, FL) took home $720 for first place, with the rest of the results from the tournament listed below:

1. Henry Reyes (Lehigh Acres, FL) $720
2. Daniel Medina (Avemaria, FL) $707
3. Herbert Souza (Boca Raton, FL) $677
4. Denise Westerfield (Coconut Creek, FL) $621
5. Patricia Basilio (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $583
6. Lisa Do (Parkland, FL) $516
7. Matthew Meeuwen (Lake Worth, FL) $180

Tournaments: Monday's tournament schedule returns to "normal," with two events for players to choose from.  The first event of the day, which begins at 11:00am, is an $80 No Limit Hold'em tournament, which carries a $2,500 guarantee.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 12,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes.

The evening event, which gets underway at 6:00pm, is a $150 No Limit Hold'em tournament.  The prize pool is guaranteed to be at least $5,000, but expects to grow even larger, as we've seen that past few weeks.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 16,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes throughout the night.

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).
