Thursday, February 14th: We Show Our Valentine Love With A $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) Multi

ICYMI: Wednesday's tournament schedule began with the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor," which ran without it's usual $3,000 guarantee.  That didn't deter players from showing strong, as the field closed with (35) entries, and a prize pool of $3,500.  The posted payouts were scheduled to see three players walk way with $1,000, and a fourth place earning $500.  Those numbers were altered though, as the tournament ended in an ICM chop, with the official results listed below:

1. Alain Jolicouer (Hallandale Beach, FL) $871
2. George Lukowski (Parkland, FL) $672
3. Glenn Fassberg (Boca Raton, FL) $623
4. Glen Bruce (Brown City, MI) $614
5. Sal Accardi (Pompano Beach, FL) $380
6. Daniel Genachte (Deerfield Beach, FL) $340

The "Survivor" event was followed (at 6:00pm) by an $80 No Limit Hold'em ($1,500 GTD) tournament.  After eight levels of open registration, the field would close with (28) entries, and an official prize pool of $1,980.  Official results from the evening's even are listed below:

1. Celso Leroy (Delray Beach, FL) $610
2. Anthony Vuleis (Pompano Beach, FL) $580
3. Walter Buss (Brussels, Belgium) $572
4. Jeffrey Oldakowski (Pompano Beach, FL) $218

Tournaments: The wait is finally over, as the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) is upon us.  The tournament begins today, with the first pair of flights on the schedule, as well as a satellite for the event.  The action begins at 11:00am, with Flight 1A of the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD), which is the first of eight total flights.  The structure for the flight sees players sitting down to starting stacks of 20,000 units, playing levels that last (30) minutes, and registration that is open through Level 8.

At 3:00pm, players can choose to take lesser expensive routes into the weekend's event, with a $40 No Limit Hold'em Satellite, guaranteeing five seats into the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD).  The satellite is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

The second flight (Flight 1B) then gets underway at 6:00pm, carrying the same structure as the afternoon flight before it (20,000 unit starting stacks, (30) minute levels, and registration through Level 8).

Promotions: The high hands will run 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.
