Monday, April 16th: Only Two Days Away From The Month's First Multi, Recurring Tournament Action Continues

ICYMI: Sunday's tournament action kicked off (at 11:00am) with the $120 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack," which had a $3,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The field would be comprised of (32) entries, which equated to a prize pool that fell directly on the posted number ($3,000).  A total of four players were scheduled to reach the money, with a min-cash walking away with $330, and $1,350 up top.  Those numbers would be altered though, as a six-way chop was agreed to, headed by Brett Feldman (Boynton Beach, FL).  Details of the deal are listed below:
  1. Brett Feldman (Boynton Beach, FL) $855
  2. Zaki Lichaa (Pompano Beach, FL) $499
  3. Barry Teller (Tamarac, FL) $492
  4. Paula Holder (Pompano Beach, FL) $490
  5. Arnold Cohen (West Palm Beach, FL) $364
  6. Edson Abadia (Port Orange, FL) $300
The "Monster Stack" was then followed by a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo Bounty," which also boasted a $3,000 guarantee.  After ten levels of open registration, the field would close with (26) total entries, and a prize pool of $2,350 (not including bounties).  Four players were scheduled to reach the money, but once again, we would see things end in a six-way deal.  Dov Bedziner (North Miami Beach, FL) found his name atop the payouts, but it was an even chop (or as close as possible) across the board, with player earning either $392 or $391.  The official results from last night's evening event are listed below:
  1. Dov Bednizer (North Miami Beach, FL) $392
  2. Flynt Freedman (Pompano Beach, FL) $392
  3. Joseph Diprima (Boca Raton, FL) $392
  4. Anthony Zambrowski (Chandler, AZ) $392
  5. Blaine McRae (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $391
  6. Patricia Basilio (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $391
Tournaments: Monday's tournament schedule begins (at 11:00am) with an $80 No Limit Hold'em event, that boasts a $2,500 guaranteed prize pool.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 12,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes throughout the afternoon.  Registration is open through Level 8, which means players have until just before 2:00pm to join the action.

The evening time slot then follows, as players begin arriving at 6:00pm for the $150 No Limit Hold'em.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 16,000 units, and levels that last (20) minutes.  With registration open through Level 8, those interested in entering the event, have until 9:00pm to do so.

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).
