Saturday, March 9th: Another Successful Friday, Seamlessly Transitions Into An Action Packed Saturday

ICYMI: Friday's tournament slate started with the $75 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor" ($1,000 GTD), which has become one of the top events on the recurring tournament structure.  Yesterday's installment saw a field that ended up with (39) entries, and an official prize pool of $1,950.  That meant that four spots were scheduled to get paid, with three $500 payouts, and one $450 payout (fourth place).  Once player official reached the money, players altered the posted numbers slightly, with the official results listed below:

1. Marianne Dewitt (Lauderdale Lakes, FL) $488
2. Alan Dobrow (Melville, NY) $488
3. Salvatore Accardi (Pompano Beach, FL) $487
4. Robert Barnes (Troy, NY) 4487

The Friday night recurring slot used to host the $80 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD), but was replaced last night, by the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster" ($2,500 GTD).  The change was received well by the players, as the field closed with (36) entries (and a prize pool of $3,492).  Official results from the tournament are listed below:

1. Michael Boykin (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $1,021
2. Jeffrey AShkin (Matthews, NC) $945
3. Danny Blackburn (Deerfield Beach, FL) $863
4. Eugene Alkes (Delray Beach, FL) $384
5. Daniel Genachte (Deerfield Beach, FL) $279

Following the afternoon event (at 6:00pm), is the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster" ($2,500 GTD), which had a very successful running last night.  The tournament is structured with 50,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.
