Tuesday, January 22nd: After The "Bankroll Builder" Wraps Up to Begin Week, Recurring Schedule Returns With Mixed Events

ICYMI: Mondays' action was focused on the "Bankroll Builder" (Day 2), but there was a recurring tournament that got started prior to the resumption of play.  The $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD) found itself in a good spot, as players who didn't bag for the "Builder" along with those that were busting, made their way into the event.  After ten levels of open registration, the event's field would close with (54) entries, and an official prize pool of $6,210.  A total of seven players were scheduled to reach the money, with players agreeing to a deal, after one in-the-money elimination (Paulette Poirier).  Official results from the tournament are posted below:

1. Allen Sukenic (Bloomfield, MI) $1,517
2. Jeffrey Berry (Sunrise, FL) $1,045
3. Michael Corbett (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,002
4. Andrew Daire (Boca Raton, FL) $987
5. Daniel Genachte (Deerfield Beach, FL) $739
6. John Scigliano (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $641
7. Paulette Poirier (Massena, NY) $279

Day 2 coverage of the "Bankroll Builder" was posted on the blog throughout the day (and can be seen by scrolling back through the blog), but for those that missed it, the official results from the final table chop are posted below:

Just as the "Bankroll Builder" was wrapping up, players began arriving for the $90 No Limit Hold'em ($1,500 GTD) evening event (6:00pm).  The tournament was another success, as the field closed with (36) entries, and an official prize pool of $2,690.  Five places were scheduled to get paid, and after three players busted in the money, a heads up deal was agreed to, between Roberto Desogos and Edgard Mendes.  Official results from the tournament are posted below:

1. Roberto Desogos (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $907
2. Edgard Mendes (Deerfield Beach, FL) $868
3. Marc Mebergal (Lake Worth, FL) $404
4. Alberto Weber (Boca Raton, FL) $296
5. William Darrow (River Head, NY) $215

Tournaments: The day starts at 11:00am, with the $150 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo event, which has a $2,500 guarantee.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 15,000 units, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

Following the Omaha 8B event (at 6:00pm), we have the return of the $100 H.O.R.S.E. tournament.  The structure sees players sitting down to starting stacks of 12,000 units, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

Promotions: Outside of the "standard" high hands, the poker 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.
