The evening time slot (6:00pm) hosted the culmination of the $175 No Limit Hold'em "Night Owl" ($50,000 GTD), as (43) players returned for Day 2 of the event. The trend of the evening was speed, as the field was cut in half after just two hours, and reached the final table just an hour after that. The final table then only lasted a short while, as players agreed to a seven-way deal, after three eliminations. Danilo Parada (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), who had been a very successful player in the recurring tournaments on the schedule, earned his first ever major win in the deal. Parada walked away with $8,175 for his first place share of the deal, with the official results from the chop posted below (and full event results found HERE):
- Danilo Parada (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $8,175
- Julio Melendez (Coral Springs, FL) $6,012
- Dragos Iosub (Ireland) $5,174
- Charles Odenz (Margate, FL) $5,108
- Francis Langer (Pembroke Pines, FL) $4,349
- Devond Marshall (Miami, FL) $4,134
- Corey Brysman (Boca Raton, FL) $3,318
Tournaments: With the "Night Owl" in the books, the tournament schedule shifts it's focus back to the Card Player Poker Tour. The series starts in just two days, with the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD) Event #1, so today will host two satellites for the event. The $90 No Limit Hold'em Satellite Into CPPT Event #1 is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, and has levels that last (20) minutes. There are five seats guaranteed in each satellite, with one running at 11:00am, and the other following up at 6:00pm.
Promotions: Tuesday's promotions start with the every-popular Full House Early Bird, with the first (25) full houses awarded up to $60. The amount won depends on which game is being played, as 2/2 Limit Hold'em players earn $20 (for each full house while eligible), 2/4 Limit Hold'em players earning $40 (for each full house while eligible), and $60 for those playing: 1/2 No Limit Hold'em, 2/5 No Limit Hold'em, 5/10 No Limit Hold'em, 3/6 Limit Hold'em, and 8/16 O.E.
The standard high hands begin at 10:00am (because off the full house promotion), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes. During that period , the promotion sees tournament players eligible 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.
