Wednesday, April 17th: The Month's Headlining Multi ($175 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD) Approaches, As Action Begins Tomorrow

ICYMI: Wednesday's action began at 11:00am, with the $150 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo event, which carried a $2,500 guaranteed prize pool.  The tournament ended up attracting a total of (20) entries, of which three were scheduled to get paid.  Those payouts were eventually altered, as players agreed to a five-way deal, with the official results listed below:

1. Jamie Dobay (West Palm Beach, FL) $628
2. Mirna Albert (Boca Raton, FL) $570
3. Cesar Garcia (Miramar, FL) $478
4. Stanley Oremland (Parkland, FL) $450
5. Marc Robinson (Miami, FL) $374

Following the Omaha event (at 6:00pm), was the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster," which had a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The posted number would be eclipsed early in registration, as (33) entries made up the $3,201 prize pool.  There would be no deals last night, as action played down to an outright winner.  Official results of the tournament are listed below:

1. Alexander Kripitz (Boca Raton, FL) $1,313
2. Ed Rappa (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $800
3. Seymour Weiner (Boca Raton, FL) $480
4. Anthony Vulpis (Pompano Beach, FL) $352
5. Paul Humphrey (Ocala, FL) $256

Tournaments: The recurring tournament schedule sees the return (at 11:00am) of the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Survivor" ($3,000 GTD)  The player-favorite event is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.  For every one in ten entries in the tournament, a $1,000 pay spot will be awarded.

With the month's stand-alone multi just (24) hours away ($175 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD), the evening time slot sees the insertion of a satellite for the event.  The $50 No Limit Hold'em satellite is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and has registration open through Level 8.  There is a (10) seat guarantee posted on the satellite, which adds even more value for the players.

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.
