Wednesday, November 13th: Buzz Surrounding The Beginning Of The $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)

ICYMI: Tuesday's tournament schedule has become one of the most popular with the players, beginning at 11:00am, with the $120 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo event ($2,000 GTD).  Registration for the afternoon event closed with (31) entries, and an official prize pool of $3,007.  Four places were scheduled to reach the money, but players ended up agreeing to an eight-way deal, with the official results listed below:

1. Mark Robinson (Miami, FL) $753
2. Arnold Cohen (West Palm Beach, FL) $467
3. Greg Weiss (Delray Beach, FL) $418
4. Allen Green (Westin, FL) $414
5. Win Winklvoss (Delaware County, DE) $303
6. Stan Oremlander (Pompano Beach, FL) $299
7. Lee Schneider (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $230
8. Cesar Garcia (Miramar, FL) $123

The 6:00pm tournament was the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster," which ran without a posted guarantee.  Considering that fact, the event was a great success, as registration closed with (37) entries (and an official prize pool of $3,589).  Five places were scheduled to get paid, and after the money bubble burst, the remaining players agreed to a deal (with the official results listed below):

1. Gregory Roberts (Orlando, FL) $1,077
2. Robert Kuznietz (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $772
3. Brandt Wilkerson (Buford, GA) $680
4. Kamal Mohammed (Pompano Beach, FL) $680
5. Dustin Clark (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $380

Tournaments: The recurring tournament schedule will take a back seat for the rest of the week, as the month's big multi-flight event is upon us.  The $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) event has eight flights over the next four days, and Day 2 on Sunday (12:00pm).  The tournament is structured with 30,000 unit starting stacks, (30) minute levels, and has registration open through Level 8.  There is an 11:00am (Flight 1A today) and 6:00pm (Flight 1B today) flight on each day's schedule (Wednesday through Saturday), giving players multiple opportunities to try and bag chips.  

Those looking to get into the tournament for a fraction of the price, can head to the poker room at 2:00pm.  There is a $45 No Limit Hold'em Satellite into the $200 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD), running each day (through Saturday).

Promotions: Things begin with the "Full House Promo," which will open the doors on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in November).  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 $300 every (30) minutes (from 9:00am-12:00am).  Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded to those that use one card to make the high hand.  For those players in tournaments, high hands are worth $100.

From 12:00am-9:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
