Monday, March 5th: Recapping Recurring Schedule, With The Battles At The Beach Right Around The Corner

ICYMI: Sunday's afternoon tournament was the $120 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack," which definitely lived up to it's name.  The field was full of notables players, and would see registration close with (59) entries, and a prize pool of $5,428 (almost double the posted guarantee of $3,000).  A total of eight players were scheduled to reach the money, with action continuing through the money bubble, eventually pausing after the elimination of Eric Mutschler (in fourth place).  The final three players would then agree to a deal, with Bernie Boudle (Davie, FL) earning first place money.  The full results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Bernie Boudle (Davie, FL) $1,552
2. Mihaly Lukacs (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,164
3. Lisa Teebagy (Lighthouse Point, FL) $1,105
4. Eric Mutschler (Tarpon Springs, FL) $489
5. Clifford Goldlist (Toronto, Ontario) $380
6. David Gerber (Deerfield Beach, FL) $299
7. Jeffrey Oladakowski (Pompano Beach, FL) $244
8. Barry Teller (Tamarac, FL) $195

While the evening tournament didn't have as big of a tournament as the "Monster Stack," the big names were still in the field.  After ten levels of registration, the field would close with (34) entries, and a prize pool of $2,618 (bounties not including in payouts).  Five players would get paid in the event, with action concluding with a heads-up deal between Steve Bukowski and Salvatore Accardi.  The official tournament results are listed below:

1. Steven Zukowski (Coral Springs, FL) $1,000
2. Salvatore Accardi (Pompano Beach, FL) $728
3. Abdol Caby (Miami, FL) $393
4. Brendan Frank (Hazlet, NJ) $288
5. Matthew Montgomery (Cincinnati, OH) $209

Tournaments: Monday's tournament schedule is the last recurring week (before the Battles At The Beach), 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).
