Tuesday, September 18th: Recapping Monday's Tournament Action, As Win/Place/Show High Hand Promotion Headlines Today's Entries

ICYMI: Monday's tournament schedule began at 11:00am, with an $80 No Limit Hold'em event.  The field would be made up of (27) entries, and after the optional add-ons were included into the prize pool, it officially closed at $1,739.  Once registration closed, and the numbers were posted on the tournament clock, the remaining players learned that four spots were scheduled to get paid.  The tournament would never reach that point though, as players agreed to a six-way deal.  Joseph Sardelli (New York, NY) topped the chop, earning himself $318 for first place.  The official results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. Joseph Sardelli (New York, NY) $318
  2. Brian Haines (Southwest Ranches, FL) $304
  3. Stacy Thomas (Jupiter, FL) $303
  4. Daniel Diamond (Plantation, FL) $295
  5. Gerald Hertz (Pompano Beach, FL) $284
  6. Stanton Drazen (Boynton Beach, FL) $235
The evening time slot (6:00pm) hosted a $100 No Limit Hold'em event, which ended up attracting a total of (19) entries.  The $1,527 prize pool was scheduled to be spread across two pay spots, but the action never reached that point, as a three-way deal was made on the money-bubble.  Official results from the nighttime event are posted below:
  1. Daniel Shortley (Lake Worth, FL) $611
  2. Richard Bluestein (Boca Raton, FL) $611
  3. Celso Leroy (Delray Beach, FL) $305
Tournaments: The day's tournament schedule begins at 11:00am, with an $80 No Limit Hold'em event.  The tournament is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, levels that last (20) minutes, and registration that is open through Level 8.  At registration's close, players will have the opportunity to purchase an "add-on," receiving 10,000 units for $20.  This tournament is also eligible for the "free seats" to this Friday's $80 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD).  Any player that makes quads or better (during the afternoon tournament), will receive entry into the tournament just listed. 

At 6:00pm, we see the same $80 No Limit Hold'em tournament, carrying the exact structure as the afternoon event (with the exception of eligibility for "free seats").

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.  

At 6:00pm (through midnight), the promotion transitions to something the room has never seen before...the "Win, Place, Show" high hand promotion.  There will be THREE high hands awarded every hour, with the money awarded based on the strength of the qualifying hands.  So yes...players have the opportunity to grab one...two... three of the high hands that are up for grab.  Payouts are listed below:
