Friday, August 16th: Pot Limit Omaha Front And Center On Friday, Along With $500 High Hands (6:00PM-12:00AM)

ICYMI: Thursday's tournament action began at 11:00am, with the $120 Omaha 8B Hi/Lo event, that boasted a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The posted number was eclipsed early in the registration period, as the field eventually closed with (28) total entries (and an official prize pool of $2,716.  Four players were scheduled to reach the money, but a six-way deal was agreed to, prior to the money bubble bursting (with official results listed below):

1. Michael Boykin (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $800
2. Gene Hochman (Coconut Creek, FL) $700
3. Stanley Oremland (Parkland, FL) $304
4. Offer Kohavi (Hallandale Beach, FL) $304
5. Pattaraporn Vorbeck (Pompano Beach, FL) $304
6. Donald Monroe (Pembroke Pines, FL) $304

The evening tournament (6:00pm) that followed, was a $100 No Limit Hold'em "Bounty" event, that also had a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool.  Once again, we would see a field that was more than enough to eclipse the guarantee, as the tournament clock showed (36) entries at the end of registration.  Five players were scheduled to reach the money, and after the money burst (and one player was eliminated), a four-way deal was agreed to.  Details of the deal are listed below:

1. Gary Kazaks (Parkland, FL) $539
2. Anthony Vulpis (Pompano Beach, FL) $440
3. Celso Leroy (Delray Beach, FL) $408
4. Joshua Viveros (Plantation, FL) $335
5. Dean Stevenson (Coral Springs, FL) $150

Tournaments: At 11:00am, we see the second ever running of the $125 Pot Limit Omaha (w/ $100 Re-Buys), which carries a $1,000 guaranteed prize pool.  The tournament is structured with 16,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration through Level 8.  Players can re-buy anytime they have a stack of 16,000 units (or below).

The evening tournament (6:00pm) is an $80 No Limit Hold'em event, which carries a $3,000 guarantee.  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 option to add-on, choosing between a single ($20) or double ($40).

Promotions: Things begin with the "Full House Promo," which opens the doors seven day a week!!!  The proceedings begin once the doors of the poker room open, with the first (25) full houses made, earning a $50 prize.  Each jackpot eligible cash game is included in the promotion, with two rules to keep in mind, when thinking about winning the $50.  In order to be eligible, the full house must be made using two cards, and must be the winning hand.

The "standard" high hands will be awarding $150 every (20) minutes (from 9:00am-6:00pm).  Every jackpot game is eligible for the same amount, with the full $150 being rewarded, regardless of one or two cards being used to make the high hand.  For those players in tournaments, two-card high hands are worth $100, with one-card high hands walking away with $50.

From 6:00pm-12:00am, the high hands will still be awarded every (30) minutes, but the winning amount goes up to $500 (for high hands using both cards).  Those winning high hands that are made using one card (during that time period), will be awarded $250.

From 12:00am-3:00am, the high hand will be awarded $100 every (60) minutes.
