ICYMI: Saturday's tournament schedule began at 11:00am, with the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Seniors" ($2,000 GTD) event.  The posted number would be eclipsed, as the field closed with (24) total entries, of which three players were scheduled to reach the money.  Discussions of a chop started on the money bubble, and would be agreed to at that point.  Ira Horowitz (Miami, FL) would earn first place money in the deal, with the official results listed below:

1. Ira Horowitz (Miami, FL) $735
2. David Coughlin (Lighthouse Point, FL) $598
3. Mark Freund (Plantation, FL) $527
4. Marianne Dewitt (Lauderdale Lakes, FL) $468

The 6:00pm time slot hosted the $130 No Limit Hold'em "Chip Buster" ($2,500 GTD), which continues to grow in popularity with the players.  After eight levels of open registration, the field closed with (31) entries, and an official prize pool of $3,007.  Four players were scheduled to reach the money, and after the bubble burst, the remaining players agreed to a deal.  Official results of the tournament are listed below:

1. Antonio Breno De Araujo (Pompano Beach, FL) $1,038
2. David Coughlin (Lighthouse Point, FL) $818
3. Jonathan Marcu (Boca Raton, FL) $632

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.
