Monday, August 6th: "CPPT Warmup" Ends In Seven-Way Deal, It's Time For "Satellite Monday"

ICYMI: Who else but John Magnetta (Boynton Beach, FL)? Whether it's a $1,500 buy-in, or a $100 buy-in, Magnetta has proven that he is seasoned against many different fields.  Yesterday afternoon, a total of (61) players returned for Day 2 of the "CPPT Warmup," which was a $100 No Limit Hold'em ($30,000 GTD) event.  The trend of the day was speed, as players reached the money within minutes of play resuming (55 players got paid).  From that point on, the pace of play continued to be fast and furious, with the final table reached in less than five hours.  After the elimination of three players at the final table, the remaining seven players would agree to a deal, with John Magnetta awarded first place.  The results of the chop are posted below, with official (and full) results found by clicking here:

1. John Magnetta (Boynton Beach, FL) $4,438
2. Nick Kamen (New York, NY) $4,053
3. David Day (Palm City, FL) $3,836
4. Joe Pazos (Lewes, DE) $3,640
5. Andrew Daire (Boca Raton, FL) $3,217
6. Matt Harris (Deerfield Beach, FL) $3,208
7. Stanton Drazen (Boynton Beach, FL) $2,764

Just after the "CPPT Warmup" ended, the second event of the day got underway, a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo Bounty" ($5,000 GTD).  The numbers were very strong for the event, as a total of (51) entries showed on the clock at registration's end.  The clock also showed that seven players were scheduled to reach the money, with first place to take home $1,471.  Some of those numbers were altered though, as the event ended in a five-way deal.  After a year's hiatus from the game, John Palace (Jupiter, FL) returned in a big way, topping the chop with an $857 win.  Full results from the tournament are listed below:

1. John Palace (Jupiter. FL) $857
2. Brian Dunn (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $837
3. Scott Bendetto (Boca Raton, FL) $636
4. Matthew Schaid (Boynton Beach, FL) $619
5. Michael Weinberg (Delray Beach, FL) $610

Tournaments: Today's tournament schedule is all about package satellites, offering up seats into two $175 No Limit Hold'em ($25,000 GTD) events that are run this month (August 7th and August 28th). The satellites run at 11:00am and 6:00pm, both with the same structure ($90 buy-ins).  Players will be sitting down to starting stacks of 10,000 units, playing levels that last (20) minutes over the duration of the satellite.  Registration is open through Level 8 (and the break that follows), with the 11:00am satellite boasting a 3 seat guarantee, and the 6:00pm a 5 seat guarantee.
