ICYMI: The $130 No Limit Hold'em "Seniors 50+" ($1,500 GTD)  led off Saturday's schedule, with the action getting underway at 11:00am.  After eight levels of open registration, the field would close with (16) entries, and an official prize pool of $1,552.  Three spots were scheduled to get paid, with the tournament's action playing down to an outright winner.  Official results from the event are listed below:
  1. Kevin Bastin (Government Camp, OR) $760
  2. Joe Sclafani (Plantation, FL) $470
  3. Beckey Peters (Salem, OR) $322
The "Seniors 50+" tournament was followed (at 6:00pm) by the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster," which boasted a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool.  That number would be surpassed early in registration, and the event ended up attracting a field of (34) entries.  A total of five spots were scheduled to reach the money, with a four-way deal agreed to, after the elimination of Eric Mutschler.
  1. Zaki Lichaa (Pompano Beach, FL) $884
  2. Celso Leroy (Delray Beach, FL) $764

The evening time slot (5:00pm) sees the return of the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo Bounty" ($2,000 GTD), which was a Sunday staple for a very long time.  The tournament is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 10.
