Sunday, April 1st: As The Calendar Turns, April Starts In Strong Fashion (No Fools...)

ICYMI: The final day of March's tournament calendar kicked off at 11:00am, with a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor," as 1 in every 10 players entries would walk away with $1,000.  The tournament ended up with an official field of (32) entries, which meant that three players would be scheduled to "reach the money."  Once action reached the money bubble, the four players started discussing a deal, eventually agreeing to a chop where everyone got paid.  Listed below, are the results from the event:

1. Bebert Benhamo (Aventura, FL) $1,000
2. Bruno Goulart (Deerfield Beach, FL) $800
3. Stephanie Deluca (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $652
4. Dongrui Huang (Boca Raton, FL) $652

At 6:00pm, the "Survivor" would be followed by a $100 No Limit Hold'em event, which carried a $5,000 guarantee.  After eight levels of open registration, the field would close with (74) entries, which helped surpass the posted guarantee.  The prize pool closed a $5,550, and would be spread across ten pay-spots.  Once the final table was three-handed, the remaining players agreed to a deal, which was even across the board.  Detail from the deal, and the rest of the final table results, are posted below:

1. Gary Fitzgerald (Miami, FL) $1,215
2. Errol Massey (Hollywood, FL) $1,215
3. Robert Transue (N. Lauderdale, FL) $1,215
4. Larry Bass (Tamarac, FL) $458
5. Blaine McRae (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $347
