Tuesday, January 29th: Full House Promo Starts The Day's Action, Followed By "Mixed Game" Tournament Slate

ICYMI: Monday's tournament action kicked off with the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD), which crushed the guarantee for a second week in a row.  After ten levels of open registration, the tournament closed with a field of (62) entries, and an official prize pool of $7,130.  Eight players were scheduled to reach the money, with action continuing through the money bubble, but pausing once five-handed play was reached.  A deal was agreed to at that point, with official results from the tournament listed below:
  1. Francois Gagne (Hillsboro Beach, FL) $1,928
  2. Harry Silver (Boca Raton, FL) $1,327
  3. Stanley Aufseher (Deerfield Beach, FL) $1,157
  4. Marc Culberson (Weston, FL) $1,023
  5. Andrew Daire (Boca Raton, FL) $725
  6. David Echavarria (Bay Harbor Island, FL) $392
  7. Tru Nguyen (Oakland Park, FL) $321
  8. Myrna Albert (Deerfield Beach, FL) $257
The evening time slot (6:00pm) hosted a $90 No Limit Hold'em ($1,500 GTD), which ran with a front-end (optional) add-on of $10.  The guarantee would be surpassed for the second time of the day, as the field closed with (26) entries, and an official prize pool of $1,910.  Four players were scheduled to reach the money, and after two in-the money elimination, a heads up deal was agreed to.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. Jeffrey Oldakowski (Pompano Beach, FL) $795
  2. Andrew Daire (Boca Raton, FL) $580
  3. Gregg Weiss (Delray Beach, FL) $325
  4. Roberto Desogos (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $210
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.
