Tuesday, February 12th: Full House Promo Starts Tuesday's Action, With Mixed-Game Tournaments Headlining Tournament Schedule

ICYMI: Monday's tournament action kicked off (at 11:00am) with a $130 No Limit Hold'em event, which ran without a posted guarantee.  That didn't seem to deter players from showing up, as the field closed with (23) entries, and an official prize pool of $2,231.  When the payouts were posted on the tournament clock, those remaining learned that three spots were scheduled to get paid.  When action was on the double bubble, talks of a deal began, and were eventually agreed to by the remaining players.  Arlene Vazquez (Parkland, FL) was awarded first place money ($720), with full results listed below:=

1. Arlene Vazquez (Parkland, FL) $720
2. Michael Einhorn (Delray Beach, FL) $575
3. Zaki Lichaa (Pompano Beach, FL) $408
4. Alan Levin (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $282
5. Blaine McRae (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $246

The 6:00pm time slot hosted a $90 No Limit Hold'em event, that boasted a $1,500 guaranteed prize pool.  Registration for the event closed with (28) entries, and an official prize pool of $2,090.  Four players were scheduled to reach the money, but a deal was agreed to on the money bubble, with the official results of the tournament listed below:

1. Stefano Volpe (Pasadena, CA) $519
2. Howard Faber (Atlanta, GA) $419
3. Marianne Dewitt (Lauderdale Lakes, FL) $415
4. Roberto Desogos (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $404
5. Sabas Ferrer (Pembroke Pines, FL) $333

Tournaments: The day starts at 11:00am, with the $150 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo event, which has a $2,500 guarantee.  The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 15,000 units, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

Following the Omaha 8B event (at 6:00pm), we have the return of the $100 H.O.R.S.E. tournament.  The structure sees players sitting down to starting stacks of 12,000 units, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

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