ICYMI: Saturday's tournament slate kicked off at 11:00am, with a $130 No Limit Hold'em event for the "Seniors 50+."  The event had eight levels of open registration, and once that period closed, the tournament clock would show (19) total entries (and an official prize pool of $1,843).  The proceedings ended in a five-way chop, with the official results posted below:

1. Arnold Cohen (West Palm Beach, FL) $573
2. Clinton Eggstone (Exton, PA) $397

The "Seniors 50+" event was followed (at 6:00pm) by a $150 No Limit Hold'em tournament, which also saw registration close with (19) entries (and an official prize pool of $2,223).  Two spots were scheduled to get paid, but once action reached the money bubble, a deal was agreed to.  Official details of the chop are listed below:

After more than a year in the evening time (Sunday) slot, the "Turbo Bounty" gets replaced, by a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Single Re-Entry" ($1,500 GTD).  While not quite a "freeze out," this tournament focuses on the importance of decisions, as players will only be entitled two total entries (while most tournaments are unlimited).  The event is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

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).
