Wednesday, November 28th: Tuesday's Tournaments Both End In Even Chops, While Wednesday Offers Up The Popular Full House Promo (And Prepares For The Isle Poker Classic)

ICYMI: Tuesday's tournament slate began at 11:00am, with the $150 Limit Omaha 8B (Hi/Lo) event, which boasted a $3,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The tournament saw registration close with (21) entries, of which three players were scheduled to be awarded a piece of the $3,000 prize pool.  The event ended up getting chopped evenly (three ways), with the official results posted below:

1. Gabriel Ramos (Durham, NC) $1,000
2. Jeffrey Levitt (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,000
3. Ricardo Quintero (Miramar, FL) $1,000

The evening tournament was the $175 No Limit Hold'em tournament that has been a Tuesday night staple this month, but last night's installment ran without a guarantee.  After eight levels of open registration, the field closed with (14) entries, and an official prize pool of $1,918.  Two players were scheduled to receive some pretty nice payouts ($1,247 and $641), but when heads-up play was reached, another even chop was agreed to (details listed below):

1. Don Gordon (Boynton Beach, FL) $959
2. Joseph Ricco (Boynton Beach, FL) $959

Tournaments: Wednesday's tournament schedule sees the return of the "survivor" format to the schedule, with a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor" ($3,000 GTD) at 11:00am.  The tournament offers a great return on investment, as 1 in 10 entries will earn $1,000 (there are three $1,000 winners guaranteed).  The tournament is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8. 

The 6:00pm event was listed as a "package satellite" on the original schedule that was released earlier this month, but is now a $55 No Limit Hold'em Satellite into Event #1 of the Isle Poker Classic ($200 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD).  The satellite is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

Promotions: Outside of the "standard" high hands, the poker room opens with the "new" Full House Promotion.  The proceedings begin once the doors of the poker room open, with the first (25) full houses made, earning a $40 prize.  Each jackpot eligible cash game is included in the promotion, with two rules to keep in mind, when thinking about winning the $40.  In order to be eligible, the full  house must be made using two cards, and must be the winning hand.

 The day's "standard" high hand period will last from 9:00am-12:00am, 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.  

It should also be noted that 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).

From 12:00am-3:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
