A $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) tournament was in the evening time slot, as players began arriving at the poker room at 6:00pm. After eight levels of open registration, the field would close with a total of (30) entries, with the prize pool closing on the $5,000 number. The four payouts that were listed ended up getting a little bloated, with a min-cash scheduled to earn $550, and first place scheduled to take home $2,250. The players took those numbers in mind, as they agreed to an even final table chop, each walking away with $500. The list of players that made up the deal are listed below:
- Teddy Poulton (Mentor, OH) $500
- Keith Suckno (Pompano Beach, FL) $500
- Franc Nemanic (Coconut Creek, FL) $500
- Marchello Nucci (Chevy Chase, MD) $500

Tournaments: The mixed-game action returns to the tournament schedule, with a $150 H.O.R.S.E. event getting underway at 11:00am. The posted guarantee for the tournament is $2,500, but players can expect numbers much higher than that, as these non-no limit tournaments have been some of the most popular afternoon events on the recurring schedule. The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 12,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes.
No limit returns at 6:00pm, with a $150 No Limit Hold'em "Double Green Chip Bounty," that boasts a $5,000 guarantee. This tournament was phased from the schedule years back, but is now making it's triumphant return. Players in the event will be sitting down to starting stacks of 16,000 units, and playing levels that last (20) minutes. There is a $50 bounty for every player elimination, just adding to the potential return for deep runs.
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!!!
