Wednesday, January 23rd: Mendes Adds His Name To The "Recurring Double" List, As Full House Promo And Survivor Headline Schedule

ICYMI: The recurring tournament schedule returned on Tuesday, with two non-no limit hold'em events on the schedule.  The first of the day was the $150 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo ($2,500 GTD), which saw some pretty impressive numbers.  Registration for the tournament closed with (31) entries, and an official prize pool of $3,472.  Four spots were scheduled to get paid, and after the elimination of Timothy Partrus (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) in fourth place, the remaining players agreed to a deal.  Official results from the event are posted below:

1. Michael Boykin (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,122
2. Adrian Healey (W. Hartford, CT) $1,038
3. Edgard Mendes (Deerfield Beach, FL) $930
4. Timothy Patrus (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $382

The evening tournament was a $100 H.O.R.S.E., which ran without a posted guarantee, but still saw the field grow to (21) entries.  The $1,575 prize pool was scheduled to spread across three pay spots, and once again, we would see a deal agreed to, after one in-the-money elimination.  Lazaro Rodriguez and Michelle Erb agreed to a heads-up chop, we details of the tournament listed below:

1. Lazaro Rodriguez (Miami, FL) $630
2. Michelle Erb (Delray Beach, FL) $630
3. Edgard Mendes (Deerfield Beach, FL) $315

Tournaments: The day's action begins at 11:00am, with the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor" ($3,000 GTD).  The event is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, levels that last (20) minutes, and registration that is open through Level 8. Every 1 in 10 entries will earn $1,000, which has been a very popular format with the players, as we've seen extra cash prizes the last few survivors run.

The "Survivor" is followed at 6:00pm, by an $80 No Limit Hold'em ($1,500 GTD) tournament. The event is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  At the end of registration, players have the option to add-on, and can decide between a single ($20) or a double ($40).

Promotions: Outside of the "standard" high hands, the poker room 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.
