Wednesday, August 14th: "Chip Buster" Continues To Succeed, Isle Poker Action Helps Players "Get Over The Hump"

ICYMI: Tuesday's recurring tournament schedule kicked off at 11:00am, with a $100 No Limit Hold'em event, that boasted a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool.  Registration for the tournament would close with (25) entries, and an official prize pool of $2,000.  Four spots were scheduled to get paid, and after two in-the-money eliminations, a heads-up deal was agreed to (with the official results listed below):

1. Stuart Finsilver (Highland Beach, FL) $750
2. Gilbert Sanchez (Bartow, FL) $690
3. Blaine McRae (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $340
4. Thomas Stephens (Coral Springs, FL) $220

The evening time slot hosted the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster," which had a guaranteed prize pool of $3,000.  Just like the multi that carried the same namesake (this past weekend), the prize pool would eclipse the posted guarantee.  Registration closed with (35) entries in the field, of which five players would reach the money.  After one in-the-money elimination, a four-way deal was agreed to, with the official details listed below:

1. Ted Transue (North Lauderdale, FL) $950
2. Anthony Zambrowski (Chandler, Arizona) $893
3. Anthony Talavera (Sunrise, FL) $720
4. Gregory Roberts (Orlando, FL) $560
5. Gustave Decarlo (Lighthouse Point, FL) $272

Tournaments: The day's recurring tournament schedule begins just like it did yesterday (at 11:00am), with a $100 No Limit Hold'em ($2,000 GTD).  The event is structured with 14,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

In the evening time slot, we see a $50 No Limit Hold'em tournament, that offers rake-free $30 re-buys (and a $1,000 guaranteed prize pool).  The tournament is structured with $8,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and has registration that is open through Level 10.

Promotions: Things begin with the "Full House Promo," which will open the doors seven days a week (9:00am on Saturday and Sunday).  The proceedings begin once the doors of the poker room open, with the first (25) full houses made, earning a $50 prize.  Each jackpot eligible cash game is included in the promotion, with two rules to keep in mind, when thinking about winning the $50.  In order to be eligible, the full house must be made using two cards, and must be the winning hand.

The "standard" high hands will be awarding $150 every (20) minutes (from 9:00am-12:00am).  Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded, regardless of one or two cards being used to make the high hand.  For those players in tournaments, two-card high hands are worth $100, with one-card high hands walking away with $50.

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