Wednesday, February 13th: The Day's Schedule Highlighted By Full House Promo, And Staple Recurring Slate

ICYMI: Yesterday's recurring schedule was supposed to host two mixed-game events, but only one of them ended up getting off the ground.  That tournament was the afternoon $150 Limit Omaha 8B, which had a $2,500 guaranteed prize pool.  After eight levels of registration, the event closed with (38) entries, and an official prize pool of $4,256.  As has been common in these Omaha 8B events, the action ended in a deal, with the official results posted below:

1. Roberto Herrera (Coral Springs, FL) $1,020
2. Sean Daniel (Coral Springs, FL) $753
3. Stephen Reid (Winnipeg, CA) $667
4. Gerald Hertz (Pompano Beach, FL) $625
5. Brian Burns (Tamarac, FL) $487
6. Milor Vital (Miramar, FL) $406
7. Michael Boykin (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $298

Tournaments: The buzz in the poker room is all about the beginning of the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD), but before action gets underway tomorrow, we have one more day of recurring tournaments.  First up on the schedule (at 11:00am), is the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor," which will see one in every ten entries win $1,000.  The tournament is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.

Following the "Survivor" (at 6:00pm) is an $80 No Limit Hold'em event, which boasts a $1,500 guaranteed prize pool.  The tournament 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 opportunity to add-on to their stacks, choosing between a single ($20) or double (40) add-on.

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