Saturday, September 14th: Over $5,000 In Recurring Tournament Guarantees, And $500 High Hands, Headline Saturday's Action

ICYMI: Friday's afternoon tournament ($125 Pot Limit Omaha w/ $100 Add-On $2,000 GTD) was canceled, so there are no official results to post.  The evening event began without a hitch, as players arrived early for the $80 No Limit Hold'em ($3,000 GTD).  Registration was open through Level 8, and once the break that followed wrapped up, the tournament clock would show (33) total entries in the field.  The $3,000 prize pool was scheduled to be paid out across five spots, and once the money bubble burst, a five-way chop was agreed to (with the official results listed below):
  1. Jean Elma (Margate, FL) $910
  2. Marc Cohen (Boca Raton, FL) $810
  3. German Dagh (Tamarac, FL) $460
  4. Chris Murray (Davie, FL) $410
  5. Irwin Block (Deerfield Beach, FL) $410
Tournaments: Two "player-friendly" tournaments headline Saturday's recurring schedule, beginning with an $80 No Limit Hold'em "Bankroll Builder" ($2,000 GTD) at 11:00am.  The tournament is structured with 12,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration through Level 8.

The evening time slot (6:00pm) hosts a $100 No Limit Hold'em event, which boasted a healthy guarantee of $3,500.  This tournament has a very friendly structure, with 25,000 unit starting stacks, and (20) minute levels (registration is open through Level 8).

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.
