Sunday, December 22nd: Tony Burns Tops Saturday's $130 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD), As We Wrap Up The Week's Action

ICYMI: After a day that was dedicated to the $80 No Limit Hold'em "Sit-N-Go," the recurring tournament scheduled returned to hosting two tournaments.  The first of the day, was an $80 No Limit Hold'em ($1,500 GTD), which got underway at 11:00am.  Registration for the tournament closed with a total of (23) entries, and an official prize pool of $1,500.  Three places were scheduled to reach the money, but players agreed to a five-way deal, which ended the tournament earlier than planned.  Official results of the afternoon event are listed below:

1. Zaki Lichaa (Pompano Beach, FL) $557
2. Leone Nicholas (Lake Worth, FL) $315
3. Vincent Bianco (Coconut Creek, FL) $289
4. Edgard Mendes (Deerfield Beach, FL) $207

The headlining tournament of the day was in the 6:00p time slot, with players arriving for the $130 No Limit Hold'em ($5,000 GTD).  The posted guarantee would be crushed, as registration closed with (71) total entries, and an official prize pool of $6,887.  Nine players would make the money in the tournament, with action playing down to the point where things were four-handed.  Those left then agreed to a chop, with Tony Burns (Davie, FL) taking home first place money.  The former Tournament Director (now Marketing Director) from Hard Rock Hollywood continues to have success at his former place of employment, adding another Isle Casino Pompano Park score to his resume.  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

Tournaments: Today's schedule focuses on the $80 No Limit Hold'em "Sit-N-Go" once again.  These single-table tournaments are paying out two spots, with the first and second place finishers earning $350 (adding an element of "survivor" to the proceedings).  Players that are interested in these "Sit-N-Gos" can put their name on the list (at the brush stand), and once ten names are collected, the tournament will begin.

Promotions: The day's promotions begin at 9:00am, with three hours of "Turbo High Hands," as $100 will be awarded every (10) minutes (rollovers apply).  The promotion runs from 9:00am-12:00pm, and has quickly become popular with the players (as the rollovers have seen some high hands reach the $1,000 mark!!!).

The standard high hand promotion then takes over, and runs from 12:00pm-12:00am.  Qualifying high hands will be awarded $300, given away every (30) minutes (no rollovers).  During that period, if the winning high hand is made using one card, a $150 prize will be awarded.  For those players playing in a tournament, winning high hands will be paid out $100.

From 12:00am-3:00am, $50 high hands will be awarded every (60) minutes.

All Day: $80 No Limit Hold'em "Sit-N-Go" (Top Two Spots Win $350)
